This book was . . . fine, I guess? I never really felt that engaged with the plot; things seemed to just happen, without much feeling of investment from the characters who all seemed to just go along with it (realistic, given they were almost all soldiers being given marching orders, but still). There was also a really distracting amount of small grammar errors, which you would think would have been caught at some point in the editing process and clearly hadn't been. 

Where the book shines, though, is the dialogue. Without resorting to phonetic spellings of accents, you can <i>read</i> the Kentucky in every single character's voice. Masterful character voice work.
