While this is a fascinating historical backdrop, I did not enjoy this novel. Aside from the grim nature of much of the plot and what I thought was the rather gratuitous use of set piece violence, a major fault is that the dialogue often seems too unrealistically theatrical. While witty banter and verbal sparring are often fun to read, every character in this book talks in exactly the same way, such that I sometimes forget whether I was reading about the doings of Hardy or of Realm. And important and dramatic incidents were described in very matter of fact terms, e.g. "To furious shouts and residual violence, the mutiny was quelled and the exodus halted". And although John Smith and Pocahontas both feature in this story (the former particularly prominently), the famous scene where she intercedes with her father to save Smith's life is only mentioned in passing in a throwaway line after the event. So overall, rather disappointing.… (altro)
