Divided Allegiance by Elizabeth MoonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I’d give this book 4.5 stars if I could.
This book has Paks travelling on her own for the first time since she left home to join the Duke’s Company. She leaves The Duke because he has got into a poor alliance and the actions of their ally goes against everything that Paks is. She is given leave to find another path and joins a caravan to head back home to the north.
She has many adventures on her path, both good and bad, meeting new friends and defeating new foes. She is given the opportunity of a lifetime and her childhood dreams seem to be coming true, until they come to an abrupt end.
This book will rip your heart out as you watch all that was golden and good in Paks become broken and tarnished. It’s a really challenging book and as one reviewer commented a timely reminder that even if we stretch out a hand to someone who is suffering mentally, sometimes they can’t see the hand in the dark and will walk away believing no one cares. This is especially true of members of the armed forces who suffer from PTSD.
In this book we see the author’s life experience shine through, from her experiences training to be an officer to seeing how fellow combatants are treated. It’s a hard book to read, but a worthwhile one.
