Book Review: Monarchs and Mendicants

I would gladly read Monarchs and Mendicants again.

Gifford Ulrich is a former Navy Seal who is suffering from PTSD. When we are introduced to him he is homeless and struggling to make it on the streets. He reluctantly associates with the other homeless people and the reader quickly discovers all of the dangers they are facing: personal demons, a serial killer, and a mob boss.

Each character has their story and you do not fully discover Gifford's until later. Can Gifford help his friends?

Can he even keep himself safe?

Monarchs and Mendicants is just another reminder that the homeless are people too. Whether they are down on their luck or on the street for another reason the struggle to survive is real.

Each character is has flaws and gifts, but they are looked down on- just like in reality. Dan Groat did a fantastic job of making each character unique.

This novel has a couple points where there is not as much action as some readers would like but there is a combination of drama and mystery coupled with developed characters.
