I've read couple of war books. I would say this one is really interesting!

The fight, battles and events in the story are described fully to the extent the reader should like it. Alao the review motivates the readers to visit Austria and see Austrian people because due to this story a passion is developed for Austria. Thanks for your review.

I'm not a fan of reading trilogy books, especially if I haven't read the first one. However, the plot of this story seems intriguing. What can a person do to find ¨justice¨? Sometimes the only answer is revenge. And one cannot expect anything less that sadness and destruction with a war going on as the background. I'll think about this one.

An excellent review covering all the aspects that make this book well-written. I would be interested in reading this.

Was confused by your review because the events you described happened during the first World War, not the second. A look at the book confirms it takes place during the First...probably just an oversight or a slip.

War is a tough subject, but it seems that military training bettered the young men in this novel. Thanks for the detailed review.

This is the second book in the series. It provided a back story to all the main characters from the previous book. This book has an interesting plot and it seems engaging. Thanks for the review

Good review but I am confused. Why does the cover of the book say it is about WWI and your review says it is about WWII? Thanks.

The fight and all the adventures in the mountains sound very lively and captivating. I will have to read this to know if Austria won and what the eventual outcome of the war was. Thanks for the enthralling review.

I know this author and have read another of the books in this trilogy. I, too, also enjoy his writing and was very keen to try this one. Now I have read your review, I’m more comvinced than ever. Many thanks.

Thank you for the review. While I like the fictions set in WW2, I'm not sure about this one's YA frame, although it seems well set in the post-war period. In any manner, I should first consider reading the first part of the trilogy.

Enjoyable review but about a book I have no interest in reading. Historical novels about war and the military are just not for me.

Thank you for your wonderful review :) This sounds like an intriguing book full of fleshed-out characters. However, because of the war nature of the book, this one will have to wait until I'm in the right frame of mind to read it.
