Title: Poor writing ability meets compelling characters
Review: From the start, the writer's technique disturbed me. Most stores from the Civil War era are written in a voice that matches the dialects of the time and region. This book felt like it was written by a teenage girl in modern-day society. The story would move too quickly for comfort through interesting things and then suddenly slowed down to dwell on less intriguing items. The characters were compelling but so many loose ends were left unresolved that it was hard to really understand how the ending came to pass. Also, I found myself wanting to fact-check several times, leading me to question the historical accuracy of the writer.
