Historical fiction is always a hit or miss for me. Across a Broken Shore was a definite hit.
I liked the writing, it didn't flow as well as I would've wanted it, but it wasn't disappointing. The plot felt a bit repetitive at first, but then I realized that it was on purpose and that the way it showed the back and forth between what Willa wants and what her family wants from her was very realistic.
The characters were amazingly developed, the book has a character-centric plot so without good characters, without Willa being outstandingly written, it wouldn't have worked. I found that the relationships between the characters were dynamic, and I really enjoyed the romance set between Willa and Sam, it hit so many of the tropes I love.
Overall, it's a really good historical fiction, that I think a lot of fans of the genre will love.
