Query: Wish I hadn't wasted the time....

The plot could have been interesting - but wasn't. I am an avid reader of historical fiction adn particularly enjoy the Civil War timeframe. I was completely irritated by the change each chapter to a different character's perspective, but what was worse is that each chapter still maintained the "first person" narrative. Another horrible inconsistency was Mariah's speech. Poor "ebonic" English in one place, perfectly phrased English in the next without any discernable difference in circumstance.All I can say is this, "Was there no editor??"
