Finished Part One. I'm reminded why pride is the most deadly of all mortal sins. No matter how "Christian" a person proclaims themselves to be. The south is obviously prideful and wrong, but what I love is how we see not everyone in the north who professes their stance against slavery actually cares. It's a way to make themselves feel important or to pursue their own gains; their northern pride.

It's definitely an epic. I knew that before I started reading, but I did not expect the vast amount of characters. It's slow building, but that's ok for this type of book. I am very curious how everyone and everything is going to connect besides the obvious upcoming civil war, which is 20 years away. Ooooh, baby, talk about house divided.
