Book Review: The 14th Colony by Steve Berry
Fast, furious fun, I couldn’t put this one down. Why? Because it has all my favourite elements; not only is it a well-written thriller, with believable flawed characters, but Berry manages to make the historical background and info dumps enlightening, educational, and yes, even relevant in today’s climate.
With never a dull moment, The 14th Colony is the epitome of a page-turner. And while some reviewers have disliked Berry’s stye of writing from several viewpoints, I felt this heightened the tension, helped delineate the characters as much as it moved the action. All the while giving us a more in-depth look into character, motives, and consequence.
All in all, a thoroughly enjoyable read.
