What can I say, I absolutely loved this book, I found the main character to be completely well written and likeable.
This takes place at the end of the period of what is referred to as "The Terror" in French History. Napoleon is just a general in the army. You get to see France change from the ways of being ruled to being a republic. It didn't happen like it did in the United States, because Europe had more to fear from the French revolution then the American one.
I am going to say I rather liked the Napoleon in this book, he played for his brief entrance a very likeable fellow that you would expect people to die for.
