I liked the nice Hanoverians as well! There's a good sense of balance to the whole book, realistic about the horrors that happened but full of wonderful acts of human kindness too.

I was so worried about the soldiers who were transporting Ewen, because I don't like to think of them being punished for their kindness. I'm just going to assume that in the chaos of chasing down the remaining rebels, nobody had time to do more than give them a stern talking-to. :)
