The 1-2 sentences describing deaths + full-page representations = very funny! The rest is infuriatin
Published by StrictlySequential (goodreads) , 6 years ago
The rest is as confusing as anything I've ever read and Cicada-tits is shameless about it.
You need a very specific knowledge of the times to not hate the guy for not using footnotes for:
-the parlance of the times
-where places were geographically
-who groups of people were with where they lived
*Just as importantly: He should have put a family-tree style lineage after the table of contents, just a page or two, and made the chronology less than impossible to follow.
*Rowson, the know-it-all (from reading some of his other works), could have simply scribbled rough maps which would have added tremendously to the readability.
