Rose and Isabel leave their farm to search for their three brothers who have gone missing while fighting for the Union Army.
They slash and slice, are expert archers and swordswomen. Is there nothing they can’t do? Well, Isabel finds it hard to control Rose, to make sure she doesn’t go over the edge.
The illustrations are in black and white. And a lot of grey so it is at times a little hard for this non-American to figure out who’s who in the battle. But it is action-packed, exciting, also sad as they realize that to get to their brothers they have to kill or at least maim many men. And just so very refreshing to have two women fighting their way through a battle. On their own accord. Dressed like men sure, but at least it’s not some skintight catsuit!

L’histoire est assez simple mais les dessins (les expressions des corps et visages) sont forts et nous aspirent totalement dans le tourment de ces 2 sœurs.
