Book Description
STANDING FOR TRUTH COULD COST HIM HIS FREEDOM.
FIGHTING FOR FREEDOM COULD COST HIM HIS LIFE.
It’s 1771, and North Carolina is at war. On one side stands established religion and the power of the Crown. On the other side stands a dangerous freedom of conscience.
Robert Boothe has spent the last four years leading the tyrant-hating Regulators against North Carolina’s corrupt British government. All he wants is a safe place for his little Baptist church to live and worship God.
But choosing sides has made Robert a target. The Church of England wants him to shut up. The governor wants him dead.
Overview
I had never heard of the Regulators and their influence in the rebellion against the British in the years leading up to the War of Independence so it was really fascinating reading about them. The spiritual portions of the book were perfect. Nothing was ever too preachy yet there were a lot of strong Christian messages and values. There were also humorous banters, sweet romances, and epic fight scenes. I think the settings were historically accurate too! Overall, the plot and settings were really cool!
Characters
There were so many lovable (and not-so-lovable *glares at Drake*) characters. I love how Miss Baas portrayed Robert Booth. While he was a preacher, he still had struggles and sinned, yet he always grew through it. And he was such a sweet, protective father and husband. There was also Gunning and he was so nice and helpful to the Booths (and that *thing* at the ending...#allthefeels). Hank cracked me up, Alec kept me on the edge of my seat with his decisions, Saul was a lil somewhat naive and reckless boy in love who grew to be a mature man in the end, and Drake was just the perfect villain. There were so many other amazing characters, but if I went through each one of them this review would become an essay lol. So I'll just leave you with this: the characters were one of my favorite parts of this book, and Miss Bass did an excellent job giving unique voices and character traits to all of these characters.
Content
Nothing is graphic but there are fights, explosions, shootings, battles, death, and fires.
Conclusion
This was such a fun read! I'm gonna give it...four stars! XD The reason why it's a four star and not a five star is because it did take a while for the beginning to draw me in and interest me. It dragged a tiny bit at some points and because there were so many characters, I had a hard time keeping track of everyone occasionally. But overall, it was a fun, action-packed book filled with strong morals and amazing characters!! If you're a Revolutionary War geek or just want an epic historical fiction read, then you should totally read this!
Don't forget to enter the giveaway and I hope you have a lovely Independence Day, my friend!! Eat lots of good food and enjoy watching fireworks if you're that kind of person. XDD *hides in my hobbit hole far away from fireworks and reads my books* 😜
