Review: The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing, Traitor to the Nation, Vol II: The Kingdom on the Waves


The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing, Traitor to the Nation, Vol II: The Kingdom on the Waves
The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing, Traitor to the Nation, Vol II: The Kingdom on the Waves by M.T. Anderson

My rating: 2 of 5 stars



It is done. The book is finally done.

What I Liked:
1. I really enjoyed the style of this book. It was a collection of diary entries and letters from lots of different people, but mainly Octavian Nothing.

2. This book gives a very interesting perspective on the Revolutionary War. Most of my readings from this era are from the (white) revolutionists, so it was interesting to read a fictional account of a slave in the British Army. This book has inspired me to do more reading on this era in the US's history.

What I Didn't Like:

Even though I was not a huge fan of the first book, the horror elements kept me going, this book dragged.
