The series gets more unbelievable as time goes on. No spoilers!

Although I really enjoy this series, it is frequently disappointing to come across errors. It is clear when reading that these books have not been edited very well, or even at all.
The series story is very good with strong characters, but this book does start to verge on unbelievable as a number of the events taking place are quite far fetched.

Not a believable story
Just plain unbelievable story where a noncommissioned son of a over the top aristocrat general plans a coup in the army. Not anywhere near the prior books in the series. The books in the series are not expensive but save your time and pass this one

I find this series very interesting and informative e. I can't wait to read more of this family .
I find I didn't know very much about this war other than they used gas in it and it was called the war to end all wars. Little did we know.
