I think there could have been a clearer separation between past and present. ![]() I will say, that while I loved Isolde’s flashbacks into her previous life as Yesenia, sometimes I felt like the transitions were not as obvious and I would find myself being confused for a second on what was happening. I cannot wait to continue to follow his story. Killian was not my favorite in the first book, but he holds a special place in my heart after this second book.

To be sure, every operation Napoleon conducted contained unique improvisatory features. Napoleon disavowed any suggestion that he worked from formula ("Je n'ai jamais eu un plan d'op rations"), but military historian David Chandler demonstrates this was at best only a half-truth. The Campaigns of Napoleon is an exhaustive analysis and critique of Napoleon's art of war as he himself developed and perfected it in the major military campaigns of his career. Napoleonic war was nothing if not complex-an ever-shifting kaleidoscope of moves and intentions, which by themselves went a long way towards baffling and dazing his conventionally-minded opponents into that state of disconcerting moral disequilibrium which so often resulted in their catastrophic defeat. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() At the end of the book, when Jefferson Davis’ ghost is killed, the history teacher, a victim of the possession continues to use his classroom to systematically spew hatred, intimidation, and coercion at the students of color and low socioeconomic status.
