Review of 'Beyond Courage'

A Place Beyond Courage by Elizabeth Chadwick

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


Sadly, I just couldn't finish it. I got half way and found that I was constantly going back to see how much time had passed since the last chapter. It jumps ahead too far for me. One chapter is Spring, the next its next Winter and this kind of story doesn't work for me.
The characters didn't pull me in enough because time jumped so much I didn't connect with them because I had no notion as to what was happening in their lives in-between the chapters. I wanted to know what had happend to the characters during Spring,Summer, not jump to Autumn, what has happening in their lives during that period?
And I tried so hard to keep going. I truly wanted to enjoy this book - I like the medieval period and the reign of Stephen is full of intrigue.
