Book Review: Daughter of Man by Jacob Steven Mohr

     Diamanda appeared one day in the encampment of the 21st brigade with one goal: the kill the pigs and thereby win the war. The Rollog were primitive beasts, but they were quick to kill the men that is until these pig-like creatures began to advance with weapons and castings. Diamanda may be the only hope and Private Foley is the only one who truly knows what happened. 

    I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. I have already read another of Jacob's books The Unwelcome and although he told me this was different from that horror/thriller I have to admit I was still expecting something similar. In some ways there were similarities, but for the most part it was a different experience. 

    With Daughter of Man we start with an old man telling a story to a young scholar of something that happened years ago in exchange for alcohol. While the enemies started out as little more than hunting parties the threat from them soon grew until it was almost like a real battle. Although the battles were largely handled by one character. 

    I didn't feel any particular attachment to any of the characters, so I can't say that one was my favorite. The book was entertaining as we learned how the battles went and how Diamanda was the daughter of man.
