A Soldier's Wish by N.R. Walker

4.0

As expected, this book was really lovely!

I honestly put off reading a bit, as it seemed like it might be a bit heavy, but of course, I had nothing to fear in Walker's capable hands!

The pacing was really great here, and I loved the way this author managed to capture a really fraught time in USA history in a way that felt true to events without loading us down with angst. I also thought the author did a really great job with the setting and really making it *feel* like we were reading a book set during Woodstock/the Vietnam war. The characters were wonderful and I thought the connection between them was really lovely.

I did feel like their relationship moved a smidge quickly, and though I honestly didn't mind too much and felt the author did a good job making it feel believable, it still was a little fast paced to really feel completely authentic. But a *super* minor quibble.
