I cannot put them down. Especially The Last Long Night. l I read the entire book in one sitting (and that is an accomplishment considering I'm a full time RN, homeschooling mom, and back in school full-time!) The characters are so well developed with such multifaceted traits, each one of them is endeared to my heart.I also appreciate Ginny's writing style being so detailed. She is committed to the historicity of the Civil War. Ginny's efforts researching each key political and military figure bridges the gap of time. My four kiddos are still <10, but in no time, these books will certainly be part of our literature curriculum! Thank you, Ginny!!Review: I waited to give a review until I had read the first 5 books. I am struggling to find appropriate words to describe the awe I am in, and I find myself failing miserably. I absolutely could not put these books down. I would finish one and immediately hop online to go get the next one - sometimes in the wee hours of the morning, when my tail should have been asleep. The writing style of this author brings you right into the story as if you are a part of it. She has an amazing talent to capture the imagination and bring you right into a virtual reality.Thank you Ginny Dye...not only for an amazing journey, but for those God and light bulb moments throughout each book, that reached beyond the pages, and made their home inside the soul. What can I say overall? Well, let me put it like this: these books are like... "Gone with the Wind" meets up with "Eat,Pray,Love"; then whispers some "Secret life of Bees", forges some "Steel Magnolia's", and at times, wraps itself with the "Color Purple." Sigh. Did I mention how much I loved these books?Review: I have never written a review about anything before...anything! Until today... I just finished the 5th book in this series, and I must say it has completely taken me, my thoughts, feelings and emotions on a great ride.I have become addicted to this series. I feel like I'm leaving a real live event waiting in some kind of magical suspension of time until I open that book again. I think about the characters throughout the day and try to figure out what will happen.Ginny writes with such clarity and description that I feel as if I'm right there in the story with them. I felt anxious as the war came to a climax and an end. I laughed out loud, I became worried in some places, and I cried... a lot...at the end. WOW!!! As I closed the book, that's literally all that came from my mouth several times. I'm here talking to myself and just in awe of this series. WOW!!! Just WOW!My dream now would be for this series to become a motion picture series. If you love history, drama, romance, chivalry, and stories of hope and endurance then this is for you. You will not be disappointed!!In the meantime, I'll read EVERY new book! Read more
