Review # 1 was written on 2014-03-03 00:00:00 Nacole Houston This book had good characterization. It felt real and I loved following the main character Jesselynn on her adventure from her home in Kentucky to Missouri during the civil war. Just when I felt the book was picking up pace and getting really interesting, I found myself on the last page. Since I was using my kindle app to read this I thought maybe my app messed up and it was stuck, but no... the book ends and leaves you hanging. I was like "What?!? No ending!" I don't like being forced to have to read the next book. I want to come to an end and then decide if I go on to the next book in the series. The next book in the series is called Confederate Sisters, if the book doesn't being with Jesselynn in the first chapter, I'll probably won't finish reading it as I don't want to start out with one of the sisters as the main character when I haven't finished finding out about Jesselynn and her journey isn't over. We'll see, the second book awaits. |
Review # 2 was written on 2014-08-30 00:00:00 Angela Corrado Until the end, I found this to be a captivating story. The characters were realistic, it had great Civil War depictions and the heroine was a decent person and could stand on her own two feet. Some of the parts I found a little unbelievable or predictable, but nothing crazy. Then I got to the end. Oh, wait. There was no ending. The book stopped. Two things that drive me to not read an author again are ridiculous grammar/spelling issues and forcing a reader to get another book to finish a story. I enjoy series books but don't want to have to purchase another book to know how the story ends. Individual books should be stand alone or at least it should be clearly indicated you have to buy subsequent books in the series to see how things end. I typically enjoy Ms. Snelling's books and writing style but this one didn't do it for me. |
