Fallen Land: A Novel | 
so-soFinished this book - the next #LMPBC Round 10 Group J selection. Sorry, but I have to agree with @Wife , it wasn‘t for me. I know the Civil War and all around it was bad, but how can a person conjure up all these horrible things and expect people to enjoy reading them? 2 stars #BookSpinBingo #BFC21 a bingo for #JUMPSTART2021 #JoyousJanuary

#TBRtemptation post 5! Brown's debut novel is set in 1865. A young couple flees marauders seeking a bounty reward. Callum's a 15-year-old Irish horse thief who saves family-less Ava from pillaging soldiers. They ride Reiver, who carries them through the ravaged South. They're pursued by a murderous slave hunter, tracking dogs, & rangers, & rely on scavenging and strangers' kindness. Finding a safe haven is a tall order. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎
#TBRtemptation post! The debut novel from an award-winning young author, it's a historical romance set in the Civil War's final year. Horse thief Callum finds Ava alone in her crumbling home--her father & brother killed in the war--& they attempt to find a place to resettle. Along the way, they must escape an ex-slave hunter, tracking dogs, rangers, and Sherman's March. They ride through a destroyed South on Reiver. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎
bailedCould not get into this! It was like the author was trying to make each individual sentence so perfect, it ruined the flow of the story for me. Nearly all the horse terminology was incorrect, and having had horses for over 20 years I was unable to get past the errors. It felt like a fake western :(
One of the best first novels I've read in a long time. Good character development and strong descriptions in a well crafted story.
