౨ৎ | “he was a good man, but he had a broken heart. that’ll take even the best of them down.”
— ★ 3/5
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.
