What I loved:
The writing: I found the author's style quite pleasing. It flowed with such ease, was rich in description and full of beautiful phrasing.
The characters: Barrie, Eight, Mark -- they were all great. I loved reading about them, getting to know them, reading scenes with them together. Very memorable characters.
The dynamic between Barrie and Eight: These two were great and amazing together. The scenes they shared were the best. Their banter made me smile and I really need the next book so I know what happens with them.
Watson's Landing: This may have been one of the plantations, but it was also another character in the book as far as I was concerned. And how I love the south and all it's peculiarities.
There will be a second book! Why is this important? Because I have waaaaayyyy too many unanswered questions. This book has only scratched the surface of the mysteries and curses that surround Watson Landing and its inhabitants.
What I didn't love
I need more answers, so let's get that next book stat!
