I don't think I would really enjoy this book very much, but I liked your review. I can tell that you put a lot of thought into it and enjoyed the story. Unfortunately, this time period in history doesn't interest me all that much. Thanks for your review!

A book with masterfully developed characters and efficient plotting. I enjoyed reading your review.

What an insightful review. I'm really intrigued about this story. I haven't had many opportunities to study American history so while I've heard of the Battle of Little Bighorn, I don't know anything else about it. Would someone with limited knowledge of the historical events still be able to follow this novel? From your descriptions of the characters and writing I think I'd like to check it out.

An addictive plot+characterization of the personalities, a rare duo to be found in books nowadays and this book promises it all. Appreciate the review.🌸

I think the author did a great job of adding personality to already known historical names. This kind of adds flavor to the history books making it more appealing to those who may be bored in reading them.
Well written review.

Seems like an interesting book for those who prefer the genre, but historical fictions are not my style, so I'm far from the target audience. Anyway, thanks for the descriptive review!
