Road to the Breaking begins the exciting series, Road to the Breaking series by Chris Bennett. I have to admit that I did judge a book by its cover and I was fascinated by this one. I could not wait to find out if the pages within were just as good. I was far from disappointed. I enjoyed meeting Captain Nathaniel Chambers, commander United States Army Fort Davis, just before the Civil War. He suddenly finds himself torn between staying in the United States Army or staying in Virginia to claim his inheritance after the death of this father. The whole book is full of drama, adventure and history. I thought the author did a fantastic job capturing the era. The writing style is unique and refreshing. Even though the plot covers some difficult times, it easily flowed and I had a hard time putting it down until I was completely finished. It is one of my favorite reads of the year to date.
Road to the Breaking is getting a very well deserved five plus stars from me. I highly recommend it for readers who enjoy reading historical fiction. I am looking forward to getting my hands on the second installment from the Road to the Breaking series, Enigma to see what will happen next. I have no doubt, it will be as great. This one should not be missed and definitely worth a read.
I received a paperback copy of Road to the Breaking from the publisher. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
