Lost interest
I just couldn't get into this book. I kept pushing myself to read it and got half way through when I gave up. I just did not find it interesting and did not see the point of the book.

Incomplete
Can't seem to finish this novel...Hoped for more from this "historic fiction"...The 60's, 70's, 80's don't hold much interest for me...Also, I feel that I have experienced this story-line many times in too many other books...Sorry!

Disappointed
The title "Ashes of Fiery Weather" was very intriguing. I love the cover of this book and couldn't wait to begin reading this book. Being a fan of "Chicago Fire" and "Blue Bloods" on T.V. I was sure I would really like it. I found the book to be confusing and hard to follow. There were so many characters which I felt were under developed and with the switching back and forth of the time periods I found the book very disappointing. I think the author had some good ideas but fewer character and a more sequential presentation would have made it easier to read. I was surprised that the book had over 400 pages and only 7 chapters. This is not a book I would recommend to my friends.
