Mutiny of the Heart

Odd little story. I couldn't ever really get to the point where I really believed what was going on; just when I would get to thinking I knew the characters, something else would happen. There was a triple batch of melodrama with a super-bad villain and the characters were just so one- or two-dimensional that they hardly seemed to show any signs of life–just the actions the author attributed to them.

There was some great historical research done, but the characters still seemed to be thinking and often acting with a 21st-century mindset instead of an 18th. Because of this, they ended up logically in a couple situations that would probably never have happened.

At least it was short and worked for a challenge!
