An Apache Princess

DNF at 38% (ebook)

For such a short book (just over 200 pages), I found this book to be incredibly long.

The book starts off with a young girl outside the fort who happens upon a native american girl. What will happen? Will the become friends? Will they get caught? This seems like it's going to be an good story! Well, who knows what happens to these two because then it switches to other characters and life at the fort. We're given some backstory on fort life, the landscape, army rotations (were they considered army then? There's a corporal so I assume so). The descriptions were excellent. I was instantly whisked away into Arizona fort living in the 1800s. For that I give it 5 stars.

So why the DNF?
Simply, the story jumped around too much. Yes, I was instantly transported to that time period, but the story was too jumbled. I had a hard time following the timeline and what was happening. I felt like I had experienced fort life by the 20% mark and wouldn't get too much more out of it by continuing the book.
