Review: "Dark Chaos (Bregdan Chronicles, #4) by Ginny Dye

This is the fourth book in the Bregdan Chronicles and once again, Ms. Dye does write a wonderful saga about the year of 1863 during the Civil War. All the major battles of this year are touched on in some fashion. Also, the important happenings in both the North and South are highlighted, from the Draft riots in New York City to the attempt by the North to free the northern POW’s at Belle Island and Libby Prisons. The author even includes the little known story of the drowning of a Southern spy as they try to return to the South by running the blockade.

All the characters from Book 3 have returned and continue to evolve. You learn more about their lives and loves and what makes them tick. Thought provoking situations are presented that offer plausible opportunities for individual growth and also reflective quotes that add flavor to the story. You will be thinking about these quotes long after you turn the last page.

Again, you can read this book by itself and still enjoy it but I highly recommend the series for anyone who loves historical fiction about the Civil War Era. Ms. Dye includes a superb mix of fact and fiction that keeps the reader turning pages but does not inundate or bore with too many details. This series is great for these cold winter nights coming on!!
