Why choose Sublime Book Review?

Finding the right reviews for the right budget can be hard for an Indie or self-published author. And in many cases, you unknowingly pay for a review that is 100% guaranteed positive. While it’s nice for a reviewer to tell you your book is “the greatest book ever written,” this doesn’t necessarily help you, the author, and it certainly doesn’t help the industry leaders (librarians, booksellers, media professionals) make calculated decisions about purchasing your book or requesting your title for their library.

In The White Cockade, the author weaves a story of a young, wealthy Bostonian into actual events of the American Revolution in 1775. Josiah Hartford unwillingly gets pulled into his family’s shipbuilding business and, subsequently, into the Continental Army. The war tears his family apart and sends Josiah into a turmoil of emotions, danger, and life-changing experiences.

Mark James Miller creates an engrossing and well-researched read when he tells the story of the American Revolution through the eyes of a young, wealthy American. He also deftly exposes the effects of war on people from all walks of life. The characters are very well-developed, and the settings are vivid and realistic as we follow Josiah for a year of his life. I felt a wrenching disappointment when it ended, and I sincerely hope it is the first in a series. I want to live the next step in Josiah’s story.

 Sublime Line: “A fictional character intertwined with real-life historical figures and events creates an engaging, difficult-to-put-down read that will definitely leave you wanting more.”
