I love the premise, idea about using actual history to write your story, for you to read/watch documentaries to write an accurate historical story.
I really enjoy reading this story, it is well written and I feel like this could be a genre in books in itself, perhaps in a sense, it could be fictional educational story?
Even if it's not the primary goal, it's still giving the reader a sense of learning which is nice.
I reccomend anyone reading this, even if its not finished ever as it's a refreshing palette in a way. I'll be sticking around.
The story has a nice depth to it, its in depth but isnt info dumping while giving a nice view of everything. I wouldnt mind some more details though. I'd like to read what the author finds in their studies on this time in history personally.
