Damnation Spring by Ash Davidson
4.0
4.5 stars! Bought this book on a whim since the synopsis sounded interesting and I enjoy reading historical fiction.
It was pretty hard to get into since there was a lot of technical logging jargon which I didn’t really like but it did set the tone of the story. I see a lot of review share this thought but I don’t know how else the author would have been able to show not tell what it’s like to be a logger (the dangers, what they do at work each day, what makes the process so intense, the role each person plays in the process, the comroiderie aspect, etc). It was also pretty complicated with so many characters — a town map / family tree would’ve been really helpful
