i really enjoyed this first book one of my favorite themes in history is someone's life their life trajectory or an event can just turn on a dime and there are several small moments in this first book rebel that you see this with these characters that if a scene plays it a little differently it would have went a different direction and of course it being cornwell the battle of bull run at the end was so vividly drawn
