i liked the intial pace of the book but then it just sort of started dragging. the mix of characters while good, was also very distracting. 

i understand the author initially had “part 1 Holston” written as a small novella, but had such a huge impact he felt obligated to flush out the next four small parts in eight months. when i feel he should have taken time to do it. 

also feel like a romance in this type of book is not needed but we move. 

overall i really enjoyed the feel to the book and i loved the intial aspect. but it sort of just fell flat for me around the 70% mark. i might pick up the next book, i might not. who knows.
