"This is a book that I should love, but I am having a hard time getting into it. I'm getting lost in the details of fur trading partners, legal battles, and the like. I am going to set it aside for a while." — Jan 17, 2018 09:16PM

"So far, so good...an easy story, well-written, and not particularly challenging...just a good story. Perhaps there is a big surprise, a plot twist to be dropped on the page soon? I don't think so. It would be out of place, inconsistent with the tenor of this book so far. Too late. I'll just enjoy it as it is. A solid four star book and I recommend it." — Nov 17, 2015 08:49PM
