The story of this book is a good one, but the author tells the story as if we were children sitting around a campfire at night.

There is precious little diaglogue to move the story along, a lot of description which could have been better done by actually showing the actions of the characters or via dialogue between characters. And long spots were the author tells us what is going on or what is happening, going to happen rather than let us 'see' for ourselves

Some of the characters were believable but others were just a shell of what they could have been.

I read a library copy that had been DISCARDED and am certainly glad
that I did NOT pay for this book.

TOO BAD. With a good author, this could have been a very interesting and entertaining book. I research the Melungeons so I know a lot about what they would or would not have done.
