Review

I’m giving this book 5 out of 5 stars. This was such a well-depicted book that relives history in honor of Vasco da Gama through a series of narrative poetry. The poems were very revealing, not only recounting historical events, but also expressing the Portuguese explorer’s sentiments through the author’s profound words. I highly recommend this book to readers who love historical poetry.
