David McK (3414 KP) rated Soldier of Fortune (Captain Rawson, #1) in Books

Jan 30, 2019

I picked this book up for something like £2 in The Works (kinda like Bargain Books), and now I know why.

Set during the Wars of Marlborough, I was hoping for an exciting and interesting story during which I might learn something new. Unfortunately, the novel was pretty bland: both in plot and execution. The prose was never really that gripping; none of the characters were that interesting and elements of the plot were just, well, silly.

In short: meh.

Book Rating

This novel is reminiscent of Gone Girl in its style and plot. The dual points of view with at least one, maybe two, unreliable narrators propulses the story making it a page turner. The twists are well executed and some of the characters are well fleshed out. However, there are many questions left unanswered, some loose ends that could have been tied up nicely and a few eye-rolling moments. All in all, an excellent psychological thriller with a twist.

Fantastic

If this was a book first I can see why it would be a best selling novel! It takes murder mystery and flops it on its head. It was one of the best films I've seen in a while. Daniel Craig did a fantastic job! And it was great to see captain America as a not so loveable character he did fantastic in the role. It emotionally ties you up in the characters too.

Book was provided by the author herself, Britney King, in exchange for an honest review.

I truly enjoyed this novel. It left me gripping for more and wanting to learn more of the New Hope Church, the sirens, the leaders of New Hope, etc. I recommend starting with The Social Affair, as reading in order will help you gain a better understanding of what the underlying story is about and will make all the gaps come together in the end.
