Set in the era of the Revolution in America around South Carolina we meet and follow the very turbulent story of Lily Thompson, whose family are dead and she feels the pull to join the Militia. and fight for what she believes.<br />Lily is willful and unlike many of the time will not be cowed and subdued in her behaviour, she works for what she believes.<br />The character growth is really good and those Lily comes into contact with fall deftly onto one side of the war or the other.,their personalities really show through. The world of the time is well written and descriptive. And as an English person, seeing things through this descriptive manner is very helpful.<br />Well written and I would read more by this author.<br />

A Patriot’s Tale: An American Revolutionary War Novel by Nicole Pierman was a book that I enjoyed reading. This is a new author for me, and I enjoyed how she was able to pull me into world that is set during the American Revolutionary War, and she did a good job at setting the scene from the start. Nicole was able to put a lot of thought and time into the development of the characters and the parts that they play in this book. This is about Lily and her determination to overthrow a British captain due to the fact that this Captain plays a big part in the loss of her brother. Lily is the main character that has a lot on her plate between the death of her brother and what she is dealing with at home from her family. As far as Lily is concerned, the Redcoats are the enemy, and they need to go down for what they have done to her brother. Lily finds herself being held captive, then has to join a spy ring, and has to find a way to help all of those that are struggling just to survive. I really enjoyed the way that Nicole brought Lily and her story to life, Lily brings so much to the plot of the story and Nicole captured all of that wonderfully. Lily is a strong, determined character that brings inspiration to the women of the story. Nicole did a great job at bringing the historical aspects to the tale of Lily as well as developing Lily into a strong, independent character. I look forward to seeing what else Nicole has to bring to us, I highly recommend picking up a copy of this book and getting lost in the story of Lily and all of the adversity that she has to face!

A Patriots Tale is the perfect book for anyone that enjoys historical fiction! Lily is not your average female character from the time period. It is a very interesting take on how women might have been in this time and just weren’t documented. It was a fun read and I look forward to more books from the author!

A Patriot’s Tale, written by Nicole Pierman, is a story set during the Revolutionary War. Lily Thompson is a young woman who has lost her only family. We travel along with Lily as she navigates her way through hurdles and challenges to obtain retribution by any means necessary for all she has lost. Lily is a little tough to side with at first, but as her strength, courage and determination begins to shine, she becomes such an admirable character. I felt this story really gained momentum quickly, and the pages kept on turning. I believe the author did a wonderful job at researching the topic and has weaved together a very interesting work of historical fiction.

Having relation to a grandfather and grandmother, who both served as spies under the command of General George Washington, this particular war and the stories around it, always have my interest piqued. I am glad I took the time to read this story and I do recommend it if you’re a fan of detailed historical fiction stories about war.

Stories like this are not what I typically read, however I enjoyed this story. Lily Thompson has lost the only family she had left, her brother. She has been on her own trying to get a family to take her on as a wars so she could join the militia and get her revenge against the red coats. She finally gets the opportunity when she happens upon the Turners. This was a fast paced and enjoyable read. I hope there is possibly a sequel about her life after the war.

A Patriot’s Tale by Nicole Pierman . This is a wonderful historical story about the Revolutionary War in South Carolina. The story follows Lily Thompson who is set to join the Militia because her family has been killed and she wants revenge on the Red Coats. Lily is so head strong and really shows what women were capable of back in the day. We see the horrors of war and even the way many women contributed to the war among the battlefields even. Fighting for their freedom men and women have to endure many things and its not pretty in the least. Lily finds love, loses loves and suffers PTSD from the loss of her family. Trying to fit into a male world and fight like a man is even harder but she tries her best. This book is written so well that I felt like I was in South Carolina during the Revolutionary War. Its a young adult novel but don’t let that stop you because it was a wonderful read!

A gripping American Revolutionary War novel which had me hooked throughout. It is set in South Carolina, during 1778 as the war rages on. We are introduced to the strongly determined and independent Lily Thompson, who is not going to let the fact that she’s a girl, stop her from joining the fight against the British. Lily takes on the guise of a man and joins a raid against the British army only to be captured and held for ransom. Following her release Lily takes advantage of the British captain’s growing infatuation, seeing it as a weakness. She joins a local spy ring in order to help the militia’s overthrow him, but this means Lily having to play a dangerous game of intrigue. The author does a great job of setting both time and place, and the descriptive narrative and added historical details transport the reader back in time. I felt immersed in the story and engaged with the characters, especially Lily as I felt invested in her journey.

A Patriot’s Tale is a Historical Fiction by Nicole Pierman. We follow Lily Thompson as she searches for a family to make her their ward so that she may join the rebels during the Revolutionary War. Lily meets the Turner family and they set out to Bamburgh to join the rebels. This was an adventurous story with many great details about the war and battles. I liked the variety of characters given to us. Lily is a character who makes a great effort to protect the ones she cares for. I greatly enjoyed the Turner children. Mary and Eric, in particular, were delightful. The story would have benefited from more even writing and doing more showing than telling. This story is fun for those who enjoy determined female leads and historical fiction.

I also enjoyed their attention to details that made the story realistic. This is a well written story about Lily and her determination to overthrow a British captain.

I enjoyed Lily and what she brought to the story. She is a strong, determined character that brings inspiration to women of the story. I enjoyed watching the growth of this story which made it easy to read. It is a fast paced story that is hard to put down and entertaining to read.

Lily Thompson had had a traumatic life, after losing her parents and brothers due to the revolution in America against Britain. After training a little she thinks she will be able to make a difference joining the revelion, and has a second thought avenged the wrong to her family.

 

The Turners are a family touched by the war tragedy, full of hope for a better future, after their brother and mother died, they begin the journey to a place where revels gather in order to stop the English control. Along the way they will find Lily and an adventure like no other will commence. 

 

A historic treat, full of heart warming patriotism.

This was a fascinating story of a young woman during the Revolutionary War. I found it a riveting read. You don’t find many books from this POV. The young woman was independent, yet knew when to get help.The story is well written and keeps the writer engaged. You just want to keep going to see what’s going to happen next. I was fascinated with her going up against the father of the family she traveled with. She was really quite the brave girl. This is a read that I can recommend.

A Patriot’s Tale by Nicole Pierman is an historical story set during the American Revolutionary War. It is raw and gritty in parts, full of pain, struggles, challenges, loss, determination, battle, action, adventure, danger, drama, mystery, intrigue, tension, suspense, politics, agendas, friendship, survival, bravery, hope, and interesting, quirky characters.
I can’t imagine being seventeen and having faced and endured everything that Lily (our MC) had to face. She survived, against the odds, with a burning need to set things right. She joins a militia group- and is thrust into the fray, danger stalking her every move. What happens makes for a suspenseful read.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Nicole Pierman!

This was a really interesting read. I love historical stories and this authors attention to detail really brought this time and the Revolutionary war alive for me.
I love the lead character of Lilly. She is a young woman but she has had to deal with so much loss in her life. I love how determined she is and how she doesn’t let anything stop her from achieving the goals she sets out to achieve.
After losing her parents and her brother Lilly is determined to join the rebels and fight against the people who murdered her family.
The problem is she is a woman and at the time women weren’t seeing as beings who can fight. However Lilly is determined to prove them wrong, this is her journey as she overcomes obstacles, finds love, recovers from losses and fights to alongside men to win the war.
This is a very real story and is really eye-opening. The characters are written in a way that makes them feel real and you can actually imagine being there with them, fighting alongside them and facing all the odds and obscales against them.
This was one book that I couldn’t stop reading until the end.

The beginning was a little slow to start. It does pick up the pace after a few chapters. The author does well with the time period especially with Lily and the Turner family. The characters complement each other really well even with the minor characters. I like how Lily makes opportunities for herself even though they don’t end too well sometimes. The book is very well written and is easy to read and comprehend what’s going on in the story.

3.5 – 4 stars
War is ugly, war is raw, and war is deadly no matter who, where or when and Nicole spares no details. A Patriot’s Tale is Nicoles first novel and an award winning one at that. This historical fiction tale set in 1778 during the American Revolutionary War where a young woman, Lily is determined to fight she changes who she is to succeed at any cost.
Lily is headstrong and a patriot, but she is living with the trauma and grief of having lost her family and certainly suffers with mental health issues that comes with seeing the horrors of war. To her there is no question that the Red Coats be taken out and the Militia are the ones to join. She plays a deadly game one she intends to see the end of.
Other than a few pacing issues to start with but it soon picked up to the point I quite enjoyed this bloody tale.

The cover of this book drew me to it, along with the title. Just look at the cover! It’s beautiful!

This is the story of Lily Thompson. She’s a very determined young lady who takes on the role of a man to fight for her freedom. Lily faces many trials and tribulations in her young life but she must persevere!

This book was written when the author was 12 years old. I find that very impressive, even considering this story has had a few rewrites. I will be looking for more by this author.

A fitting read for the Memorial Day weekend! I’m very thankful for those who gave all for my freedom!

This book is an interesting tale set in US revolutionary war. The main character is the one who makes this story. Despite everything she goes through, she shows strength and has so much about her. For me, she is what pulled me into this story. I connected with her before the main storyline and wanted to see the kind of journey she would go on.
This is the first book that I have read by this author and it has certainly left me intrigued. Overall I think the story would have benefitted from extra development but I enjoyed what the author had created.
