Book Review of Blood and Honor (Honor Bound, Bk 2)

Blood and Honor (Honor Bound, Bk 2)
reviewed on


As readers who follow Griffin's series know, each book can be read as a stand alone novel, because events that have occurred in previous one are mentioned in great detail
in current and following books. It does get wearying to have every detail served up again when the reader wishes the action to move along, but I have learned to skim over those parts that are a review of previous actions. This does, however, make it a good thing for a new reader who picks a book from the center or end of a series instead of beginning with book one.

This particular series is most enlightening for me, as I was never aware of the South American, or Argentinian history and participation in World War II. The summaries always mention that this is a "little known" part of WWII and they are so right. I think the European and Pacific battles and events are used in movies and novels, both fiction and non-fiction.

Mr. Griffin has been able to make me feel that I am right there with Cletes Frade and other surrounding players experiencing the events that make the story so fascinating.
Also, as a female reader, I am surprised at how much I enjoy a story involving military action. All Griffin's books are superb reading for both genders.

The best part of finding a Griffin book in a series previously unread is learning that there are several novels that precede or follow the one you are reading.
