What a unique story!! I really enjoyed this book. The uniqueness of it was enough to grip me. I read a lot and find that it's becoming harder to find stories that don't feel like I've read something like it before. There are two things that irked me a bit. First, the modern language in the Civil War Era really throws you off balance. FMC says salty. Really? The other was the description of the chimera. I realize it's fantasy, but if it's going to be a made-up creature, then don't use the name of something already around. Overall, it was an interesting, fast-paced read.
