Review: Annoying tense
Rating: 1 out of 5

Sadly, I did not care for this book at all.  Historical fiction is my favorite genre, so that wasn't why I disliked this book.  As someone else commented, the book is too short and the story does end abruptly.  But, the main reason I struggled to even finish this book (and was truly relieved when it ended) is that from the very first paragraph I hated the tense the author chose to write this book in.  It is just plain annoying!  First person present tense??  Why in the world would you do that?  It is so tremendously stilted.  As someone with "editing in my blood", so to speak, and who ALWAYS finds typos, I would have told this author to adjust the tense before ever publishing this story.  It makes me sad to have to write such a negative review.
