Review: Good potential, but needs work.
Rating: 1 out of 5

The author has a good basic idea for a story line, but her writing skills need work. I think she has the potential to be a publishable author, if she takes time to develop her writing. She spends a lot of time "telling" the reader things that they could easily figure out for themselves, if she learns how to "show", rather than tell.In addition, this author is writing historical fiction without having done any noticeable research on the time period. The character's behavior and manner of speech are totally inappropriate and she uses modern slang that spoils the scene-setting the author is supposed to provide.I recommend the author take some writing classes or join a writing group where other authors can critique her work. She has a lot of potential, but the skill level is lacking, making this a difficult book to enjoy.
