This is the first novel of the epic “Riders of the Wind” series
I don't normally read this type of book or anything that mentions the war for that matter, however I decided to give this book a go. I could definitely see this as a male orientated book, but having said that I did actually enjoy reading it. The lives, love, and torment that Charles and Doretta go through, take you through a whole range of emotions. At times I had tears in my eyes and could hardly see my kindle to read on. The book is informative about the era it is set in. It would greatly appeal to anyone with a strong interest in aviation or history. Would I recommend this book? Yes, I think I would recommend it! Will I read the second book in this series? Yes I will!
Available Amazon, Amazon.co.uk £2.10 kindle.
