Disclosure: I received this book as a Litfuse blogger. Opinions shared are mine.

As we enter the world of The Inheritance, we’re transformed by the historic connections of the story. This novel spans several decades and geographic locales. Its format is unusual, because it has a horde of one- and two-page chapters. This made the writing feel choppy and stunted.  However, there’s a helpful family tree at the front of the book to make things a bit easier to keep up with. There is also a lot of back-and-forth between geographical locations. I found that I lost my train of thought after a while. The story moved quite slowly at first, but it picked up near the middle. I kept thinking that there must be some symbolism that I was missing.  The Inheritance has a very classic feel.  Fans of literary prose will be intrigued by the details that were painstakingly recorded. Though I found them tedious, the tidbits added much depth to an otherwise mundane tale. There were some parts that I could relate to, such as Maddy’s excitement about visiting New York City. There were just SO many separate storylines that it was difficult to keep up. While I might continue to read the series, it wasn’t my favorite novel or story.
