League of American Traitors | Matthew Landis

I really enjoyed this! In this book the past is not dead, the feuds and betrayal of long ago are ever present for the descendants of history's greatest patriots and traitors. Thanks to an ancient code those descendants are bound to duel each other upon their 18th birthday but things go awry when new info comes to light that America's greatest betrayer Benedict Arnold may not be all that history's made him out to be. Great twist on US history!

Page 1. How to immediately tell the author of the book you're reading is not from the Midwest.

MayJasper What would you write if you were? š 6y

ralexist @MayJasper - We call them Semis, singular = Semi. Short for semi-trailer since the trailer doesn't have four wheels. I get the tractor-trailer thing, I just find it hard to say since tractors aren't what's usually hauled by them these days. But I also say soda, while everyone else here in MN says pop š™‚ (edited) 6y

LauraBeth That‘s what we call them in the south š€ 6y

MayJasper Very interesting, thanks @ralexist. I say pop too, but the usual term here (Midlands, UK) is fizzy drinks. 6y

Amie We say "semi" here in Ohio too. Tractor means farm equipment to me ? 6y

Gorgeous cover but nonsense on the inside. The story has merit, it could have been so good had the characters had absolutely any personality like at all. It's blurbed as National Treasure meets Hamilton and both of those beat out this book. Jasper had a chance and it just fell through. I just wish it had gotten another edit run through, I feel like that would have greatly improved this book.

Needed a break from Tiger Lily. So I thought I'd switch to this book and see if I could make a bigger dent in it during the @24in48 #Readathon.
Not sure how I feel about this one yet. But I guess I'll find out soon. š‰ #historicalfiction #histfic #yalit #24in48

So far, this book is snarky and has more twists and turns than any spy novel I've read in a long time. You're definitely going to want to get your hands on this book when it comes out next month!
