Reviews of To End All Wars by S. Evan Townsend
Not sure how I stumbled across this story but glad I did. It combines historically accurate war stories with magical realism, which happen to two of my favourite things to read. Well done.
Thanks to the author Mr Townsend, for this weird and wonderful little war story. An ancient soldier who has been through the ages on battlefields around the world tells the story. Some great narrative tricks.
Very cool the way this story is written, a bit of time travel / war story. Lot's of nice little details about soldiers fighting under horrible conditions. Seems the author is world building for a bigger book.
This short book is a good sample of Mr. Townsend's writing style. It incorporates history, war, mythology and fantasy, yet he connects you to a strong main character and he makes the immediate setting (war zones across time) come alive with lot's of specific details, including smells, sounds and feelings.
