I received a free kindle copy of Mention My Name in Atlantis by John Jakes, published by Open Road Media Sci-Fi & Fantasy from NetGalley in exchange for a fair review. I gave this farcical tale of Hoptor the Vintner three stars. There were funny parts but overall there were too many references to ...
Better than the last couple of books in the series. This portion of the Kent Family Saga delves into the Civil War which has always been an interest of mine. A solid volume in the series.
The fourth instalment of the Kent Family chronicles was a substantial improvement over the third volume. The story revolves around the resourceful Amanda Kent.
