'Through Russian Snows' gives a historically accurate and detailed look at Napoleon's campaign against Russia in 1812. While this novel is a bit lacking in character development and plot construction, Henty does a good job incorporating the events of this campaign with fictitious characters. The writing is somewhat detailed and repetitious at times leading to a few dull and boring sections. The history in this novel is accurate and intriguing, however, which gives the reader a lot to learn and is a beneficial history lesson. Overall, I enjoyed this novel and learned a lot of interesting facts and history in a fun way.
