I've read negative reviews of this book bur frankly I enjoyed it. I had always longed to "know" what happened after the end of the GWTW story. Rhett's pre-story was well integrated with the GWTW story as already told.

The integration throughout was not perfect. I missed the ball where Rhett asked Widow Hamilton to dance, for example. But overall it was well done. It was primarily from a male point of view, of course, so its focus on the war, etc, was not as enjoyable to me as GWTW. But there was a lot to love, including better insight into Belle Watling, Rhett's family, and Charleston. Overall I can highly recommend it to GWTW fans.
