Too much talk, too little action.

Revisado: 09-29-22

The story is well crafted, and the writing is good, But there is almost no action in the story, it’s mostly just talk, talk,talk. This interview. That interview. A conversation. — Blah, blah, blah, if you’re looking for a mystery that contains some interesting action scenes, look elsewhere.

Overall, a good read

Revisado: 09-15-22

The story does a good job fitting a complicated history into a manageable length. I was one-third of the way through the book before I understood the title; but in the end the story held together. I question the dialogue and vocabulary in general. It sounded like what happens when an author and editor fall I love with their thesaurus. Common soldiers, frontiersmen, and a common fisherman with minimal education would speak plainly; but the narration is replete with sophisticated vocabulary and phraseology. This was accentuated by the narrator’s tendency to over-deliver the text, as if it couldn’t stand on its own, But other listeners might disagree. In general, I’m glad I stayed with the book to its end.

Well crafted: plot, characters, pacing

The story kept me engaged from beginning to end. I will read more titles by this author.
