“At first, this book seemed to be a bit disorganized. It didn't feel like the author was really putting together a coherent and linear story. However, I soon began to realize that Emma's diary is much like how a real person would write a diary - with singular sentences on some days and long paragraphs on others, not always in a story-like fashion but often with small observations like, "Today was sunny." I ended up liking that attempt at realism.

Finishing it, I felt like this book was much darker than I've ever read for this series. I was amazed to read the point of view of a Southerner during that time and felt heart sore at the atrocities presented. I felt like the ending was hardly uplifting - these books usually are to a decent degree. But I guess that was really meant to show how horrific the Civil War was. I ended up enjoying it after all and really felt for Emma. I think this book was stronger than the first since it seemed to revolve around a more definite story - of course, the main story was still the war, but there was a hint of bildungsroman that really bled through.”“It was pretty cool to see the Civil War from a southerners point of view.

“Very realistic portrayal and allowed for insight to the Civil War that cannot be gained through a history book.”
