Good series but the ending was unexpected...don’t know how I feel about it. The ending seemed like it was rushed, abrupt and predictable.

Intense. This book was so intense and I found myself not wanting to put it down and wanted to continue to read it no matter how late it got or how early in the morning it was, I wanted to find out what would happen to Franka and John. I just wish the ending would have been longer and wasnt so rushed to end. I am very happy with the ending and cried like a baby. The writing was amazing and how the switch between the characters let me know what each one was thinking and how they truly felt. Not only that but this book is merely a reflection of what is happening today all around the world, especially in America. Amazing book. I recommend anyone to read that enjoys a good historical fiction and thriller book.

FYI this book made me hate theon even more than I thought I did. His chapters are worthless and I'd rather not read it. Other than that this book was beautifully written. Love it!

Loved it. Love the characters and the build up of each character, I think I liked this book better than the 2nd even though they are ALL great, this one is really great. Made me love Jon Snow and Dany and Arya a lot more. George is genius...onto the next book!

This was a tough read. I overall liked the book and the story - slavery was brutal and horrifying and this book tells those brutal and horrifying stories. Though, I don't like how the author wrote the book. His writing can be confusing which is why I gave it 3 stars. He will switch the story completely in just a sentence or two and it threw me off like wait what just happened?? It is a good read though!

2.5 rating for me.
Abby is a fucking bitch and she be playing games. This book was so frustrating honestly the most irritating character was obviously abby. The only reason why I actually finished this book is because I semi liked travis's character THATS IT. the rest of it was childish BS

UPDATE. After thinking about this book all night I decided to give it a 2 because this was a stressful shit book with an immature girl that has no idea what she wants or what love is continuously break a guy, that is already fucked up in the head, heart. The ending was so lame I am still rolling my eyes. Like yea the story was cute because travis loved her so much but the gambling and the fighting I was so over it. Don't waste your time people! I did! I read people's reviews on this book and was like oh Ill try it out ANYWAY, NO I should have listened. Sooo looking forward to my next novel.

Best book written by Jodi! So great, twisted ending!

This book was addicting, I was constantly trying to find out what happened in the summer of 1862. I wanted to know more about Birdie, Edward, Lucy and what happened and how it connected to the present day. I love how the author wrote the book, jumping from time to time. I wish I could of heard more about the secretive love between birdie and Edward, I thought it was very special and it could of added a twist to the story, which is why I gave this book a 4 and not a 5. It was an amazing book though, definitely a good read if you love history.
