Read the book despite my dislike of anything war-related because I was interested in the area the story took place in. Really well written and an interesting plot; I much enjoyed following Prince Faisal's noble quest to secure independence for his people. Recommend to all and congratulate the author on BOTD!

Set up during 1914-1915, the story explores the time of Ottomon empire. Evan Sinclair's shipwreck leads him to his distant cousin and he digs deep to know the truth about his family. The relatable narrative and chronological order of the chapters are the book's plus points.

Losing one's memory can't be a funny experience, especially when it requires we out one's origin. I'm glad Evan found answers.

I love historical fiction, and this WW1 story must be added to my bookshelves. Your review points out that this story is well-written and that Prince Faisal was hoping for Arab independence from the Ottoman Empire. I know very little about World War 1, so I look forward to reading this story. Great review!

The way the author weaves together historical events with personal stories sounds truly engaging. I love how different perspectives are explored without getting confusing, and the structure seems to really help build the story. The minor issue with the repeated chapter seems like an easy fix, but overall, it sounds like a captivating and well-crafted read.
