Helpful Score: 2
Overall, I found this book to be well researched and well written. What I particularly enjoyed were all the details of life at the time that the author was able to throw into the narrative. I never would have considered how the Native Americans made it through the winter if Lyon had not put it in her novel.
Sadly, the characters, in my mind, had no chemistry. But, the were written with such depth that the lack of spark did not hurt the story. Also, there were so many other lesser characters that rounded out the book that, for me, this should not be a romance novel. I would have been just find reading a fictional story without all the cliches of romance the author dropped in.
My one other complaint is that Lyon jumps from scene to scene too quickly. I wish she had spent more time developing each scene as one whole chapter instead of chopping each scene up into little vignettes.
