"A Time for War" by J.R. Tomlin is a compelling historical fiction novel that takes the reader on a journey to the 17th century, where war and political turmoil were rampant in Scotland. This book tells the story of John Graham of Claverhouse, who became a notable figure in the Jacobite rebellions and was known for his fierce loyalty to King James II. Tomlin does an excellent job of capturing the essence of the time period, from the political tension between Scotland and England to the harsh realities of war. The characters are well developed, and the plot is gripping, with twists and turns that keep the reader engaged from start to finish. The author also provides ample historical context, which adds to the richness of the story and helps the reader understand the motivations and actions of the characters. What I particularly appreciated about this book was the way Tomlin portrayed the inner turmoil of the protagonist. Despite his fierce loyalty to the king, Graham struggles with the morality of war and the atrocities committed in its name. This adds depth to the character and makes him more relatable to the reader. Overall, "A Time for War" is an excellent read for anyone interested in historical fiction, particularly those who enjoy stories about war and political intrigue. Tomlin's writing is engaging and the story is well crafted, making it a page-turner that is hard to put down. I highly recommend this book
