Sarat Chestnut, born in Louisiana, is only six when the Second American Civil War breaks out in 2074. But even she knows that oil is outlawed, that Louisiana is half underwater, that unmanned drones fill the sky. And when her father is killed and her family is forced into Camp Patience for displaced persons, she quickly begins to be shaped by her particular time and place until, finally, through the influence of a mysterious functionary, she is turned into a deadly instrument of war.

Great concept but honestly poor execution
Revisado: 05-17-23
The premise of a second American civil war is pretty popular. To imagine it with the technology of the near future sounds like an incredibly compelling story. But man, it wastes all of the potential stories it could’ve told. The excerpts after chapters are reminiscent of the dialogues in World War Z,which does this concept much better, and are much more compelling than the actual narrative. While there is a seed of good story, not to mention commentary on current and past American wars, Sarat’s indoctrination and hatred for the north feels contrived and pointless. It’s just kinda boring
