Review by Prism Book Alliance
I love historical novels, that’s no secret, but it’s rare to find one authentically set in wartime. I loved Pathfinder; it was a delight to read. Both men are so different, yet they complement each other perfectly. Bobby is a stubborn, almost pig headed man, sticking to his beliefs whatever happens. Lewis is totally different. Throughout the worst the war can throw at them Lewis mostly remains cheerful and positive, convinced that as long as he and Bobby stay together, fly together, nothing can touch them, it’s only when it seems that their ‘lucky’ pairing has come to an end that the more fearful and morose side of his personality comes to the fore.
Faith Ashlin’s research is to be commended. I’ve not checked every fact in the story but what I did check, the main events, are accurately portrayed. Pathfinder is an absorbing story of two men who find each other in wartime, full of action, love and emotion it left me on the edge of my seat in one minute and close to tears the next. She doesn’t sugarcoat the worst of war, showing how Britain was pummeled from the air and the effect on civilians as well as the military. Pathfinder is a 2nd edition release. I never read the previous version and I’m glad I waited, as the epilogue at the end, which is new to this edition, was worth waiting for. For all lovers of historical fiction I can’t recommend it highly enough.
Review by The Romance Reviews
The historical scenes were genuine and felt realistic. There was a definite sense of war and the time period. Speaking of the time period, it's so refreshing to read about a different time period, one that isn't seen too often. Total props for that.
This was my first Faith Ashlin, I'll for sure be on the lookout for more.
