Although
I enjoyed this story, it did take me awhile to get through it as it long. I gave this book 4/5 stars. I liked how the story covered a woman’s
journey over a few years. Most books
choose one time frame and stick with it but this book carries the story over
about seven years. I also enjoyed that
it was in a modern setting. I thought
the author handled the action and intrigue sections of the book very well. You could feel the pressure the characters
were under and could connect with the main characters via the emotions they
exhibited.
As
to why the lower rating, I did not like the details in the violent scenes and
felt the story was just too long. There
is a particular scene where a dog is killed and the author spent what seemed
like a whole page describing it whereas a simple sentence would have
sufficed. I thought there was just too
much description and that is why the story was too long. The book would have been better had there
been less description of the violence and an overall cutting back on all
descriptions.
If
you are looking for a book about a strong woman character that covers major
incidents in her life over a span of years you will enjoy this book! If you like quick reads and short stories you
will not enjoy it. Overall I enjoyed the
story and felt the author did a good job of writing an entertaining story.
I would like to thank the author for a copy of the book I
enjoyed reading. I gave an honest review
based on my opinion of what I read.
