Queen of Swords, the fifth book of the Into the Wilderness series by Sara Donati, got off to a painfully slow start for me. I read several books in between stops and starts of this book, but I was committed because I knew it would eventually be good. I wasn't disappointed once the book got going, which wasn't until about 20% of the way through, but then I could barely put it down. I still love the characters (this book primarily covers Hannah, Jennet and Luke) and was glad for the addition of Ben Savard. I enjoy historical fiction and loved the back drop of New Orleans during the Battle of New Orleans. It was an interesting take on the culture of the times. There was great drama with the Poiterins and the war, and loved the added romance as well between Hannah and Ben (not to mention Kit Wyndham). Bringing in the letters from home as well as Nathaniel and Runs from Bears at the end was a great way to include Paradise in this story. I had several tear jerking moments in this and loved the ending. For fans of this series, if you can get through the beginning, you can will definitely enjoy it
