Title: Terrible writing
Review: This book was free (for the Kindle), and that's part of the reason I read it. The genre of alternative history has always been something that sounded interesting to me, but I'd never read any.Well, the writing is absolutely terrible: Cliches abound; literary crutches that didn't work a first time reused several times, sometimes within a few pages; terrible representation of Southern dialect; lots of things that just annoy the heck out of me.If I had realized this book was 640 pages long, I would have given up on it early. But, I'll give Turtledove this, I cared about a few of the characters and finished it up because I wanted to know what the heck happens. Unfortunately, it's part of a trilogy so I only got a small payoff at the end -- one I saw coming, at that. I won't be picking up the rest of the trilogy.
