This book was awful. My 10 year old can write a better book. The people sounded childish to me. I will never read another one of her books. Going to see if I can get my money back. I don't even want to give this book one star.

This review is from: Falcon Moon (Lakota) (Paperback)

Whoever published this should be strung up by their toes. The dialogue is the worst I've ever read, the story is nonsensical and the Indians are written in the most cliche new-age way possible.

Cassie Edwards strives to be "historically accurate" and then makes up the silliest plot devices rather than using the cultural and historical feelings of the day to build great tension. A white woman and an Indian Chief? There's a lot of drama and tension to be gleaned from this pairing right? Nope. Vapid Wylena is so perfect and sweet, she never once worried or felt anything about her brother dating an Indian nor about her own relationship with one. No one in the tribe except the ugly guy (because ugly people are evil) cared that the Chief was in love with a white lady. There was no conflict anywhere regarding race other than EVIL GENERAL ZAMORA (as he is repeatedly referred to) who hates Indians and wants them all to die but is also trying to kill her brother Zeb because he is supposedly an Indian scalper. Wait, what? Yeah, it doesn't even try to make sense.

Also most internal dialogue has... lots... of ellipses and most chapters end with many! Exclamation! Points! The combination of these makes the book seem like it was written by a precocious ten year old. Add to that the fact that instead of "he said" and "she said" Cassie Edwards writes that Wylena "murmurs" all her dialogue and Falcon Moon "grumbles" or speaks "thickly" with all of his, so in my head, she speaks inaudibly and he is grumpy.

This book is good for a laugh and that is all. It is poorly written tripe. There are great romances out there and books like this give the whole genre a bad name. Romance readers need to have higher standards. Demand better quality romance and you'll actually get it.

This review is from: Falcon Moon (Lakota) (Paperback)

Why one star? There were words on paper. I have read a few other books by Ms Edwards and they were a teensy bit better. I bought this one thinking that they can't all be bad....she is published for heaven's sake. Someone paid to have this published so she must be good, right? Naw. I agree with the reviewer who stated it sounded like children talking. Very stunted English....repeated phrases several times. In one word: Blech.
