I have always loved history and it is fun to read about different historical periods even if the characters are made up characters. Where the Light Falls was beautifully researched and clearly well done for a collaboration between two authors.
While the description speaks of four main characters I really only connected with two. The dashing captain Andre and the upcoming lawyer Jean-Luc. Both men have their own battles to face as their fates become intertwined.
Andre came off as a strong man with a determination to protect everyone around him through force. Fresh off his victory for France's liberation Andre is riding on cloud nine until the chaos of the revolution hits close to home.
Jean-Luc dream of justice and the revolution allows him to provide justice to the countless people the wealthy took advantage of. Known for taking any case even if pay is not possible Jean-Luc has a kind heard and a strong sense of what is right.
While I liked the overall story the writing at times was too much. Too much detail, too much fluff, I wanted more hard core plot to move the story along. While I do not want to read another story about the French revolution I would consider reading another book by the authors as long as it was another historical event.
