tucker4 's review for:

Under the Same Sky by Genevieve Graham

3.0

---

I think the reason I didn't like this more was because it was almost like 2 different stories. The majority of the book takes place from either Andrew or Maggie's POV with them only interacting in their dreams. It follows Maggie's early life in South Carolina, her kidnap and rape, and then building a life among the Cherokee. Andrew's covers his family and growing up in Scotland, fighting through the Battle of Culloden, and then journeying through Scotland to America. Just too very different stories with very little cross over between them. On their own they could have been developed into really good stories. I was interested in each as I read them, but every time the POV switched it was like picking up a different book. Again, well written, good characters, etc, but there either needed to be more crossover to make this a more cohesive story.
