I guess I would have been more open to the story if Barnabas had started to show change sooner. He was a depressing character. :-/<br /><br />I'm with you there! I did like how it was based on her family history. I love when authors go into their backgrounds. :-)Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08508705863477611189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3398017144064278390.post-27083447049906467812014-06-09T20:08:24.671-05:002014-06-09T20:08:24.671-05:00Kate,

I also felt that the dialogue was sometimes repetitive. <br /><br />One thing I really liked, though, was the fact that it's based on Rebecca's ancestors. That made the story more interesting, especially when you see her notes of the true account of Barnabas.

If Barnabas showed some change toward event he middle, I think it would have been so much more enjoyable. I'm sorry you are having the same thoughts I did.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08508705863477611189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3398017144064278390.post-73029355098698886402014-06-09T01:10:31.282-05:002014-06-09T01:10:31.282-05:00I just started this book and I totally agree with ...I just started this book and I totally agree with you so far! I kept hoping it would get better but after reading your review, I'm beginning to doubt that it will! Kinda wondering whether or not to actually finish it or to just write a DNF review.Abbi Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00375569903870296913noreply@blogger.com
