The Mapmaker's Children, Sarah McCoy

While the beginning drew me in, the middle and even the end of this book fell flat. Even the doll's head mystery in the chapters for the present time only got a paragraph, which seemed unfair since the whole book was based on where it came from..! I don't know, this book was just okay. I didn't like how the author drew out Eden's story, making her 'forget' to mention the doll's head every single chapter. Her husband makes the excuse for his non-affair that it's because American's are overly familiar. Um, thanks for reducing the entire population of America to a single trait? Also the mention of 'Mormons' was not necessary. The people of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints suffered greatly, and to reduce their mention to a statement about a group seceding from them and then getting support from the army was crass.



I received this book from Blogging for Books for this review.
