The action

A good first novel. Characters need more depth and honor. Read author Dusty Rhodes. The narrator was fine for men’s voices but was horrible on women’s voices. The young and supposed pretty Elizabeth sounded like an old hag. Make the plot and characters more clear. A great first novel. You have the potential for being a really good author.
