Title: Had potential, but...
Product review: I liked the premise of this book. Feuds and such have always intrigued me. However, despite the interesting storyline, the writing was laughably bad. Stilted dialogue and uninteresting paragraphs on things that have nothing to do with the story abound! Seriously, who cares about the churning of the butter? And who talks like these people? Nobody I know, that's for sure. I will give the author two stars for research, but that's about as courteous I can be, especially considering the writing was very cringe-worthy in more than one place. I don't have the book handy right now, but there was a part where a character said, "Come hear" instead of "Come here" as if should have been. After reading that, I failed to take this author seriously at all, but again, the premise was nice. It just needed some editing.
