I would say this one is my least favorite of the three. ...which is not to say I didn't love it, just not as much! One really has to miss Sid. Seamie is a bit like him, but not enough! Unfortunately she had me hating Max so much that I couldn't change that by the end.....rhapsodyinbookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07041412748239010264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-11137180771985543472011-08-06T08:54:16.722+10:002011-08-06T08:54:16.722+10:00Zibilee, if you are wanting a big old fashioned sa...Zibilee, if you are wanting a big old fashioned saga, then this is the series to pick. Like I said though, The Winter Rose is my absolutely favourite of the trilogy.<br /><br />Meghan, yes, I don't quite know what it was about both Seamie and Willa that just didn't gel in this book for me. I did like them in the previous book.<br /><br />Misfit, would happily have read more about the other two couples for sure.<br /><br />Col, I am a bit completist when it comes to series, so if I started it, I would certainly try to finish it. It would be interesting to compare my opinion to someone who didn't have such high expectations because this was their first look at the series. <br /><br />Pam, it is a fun series.Marghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13508430635744720721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-15786018232922716002011-08-06T05:34:54.360+10:002011-08-06T05:34:54.360+10:00I have all the books in this series, and am lookin...I have all the books in this series, and am looking forward to starting them. It sounds like I may have to temper my expectations with this one though, as it sounds like it's not as good as some have hoped it would be. I really liked your candor in this review and think that it will be interesting to see the progression from book to book.Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443338685890187334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-85480951017747933972011-08-06T05:32:58.775+10:002011-08-06T05:32:58.775+10:00I unfortunately think I agree with you on this one...I unfortunately think I agree with you on this one. I didn't wait quite so long for this book, having only read The Winter Rose earlier this year, but it was overall not as good. I think it was Seamie and Willa, like you say - I did enjoy reading the book, but they weren't great characters.Meghanhttp://medievalbookworm.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-84592003195552202682011-08-06T00:51:22.530+10:002011-08-06T00:51:22.530+10:00I couldn't agree more, I was very weary of Wil...I couldn't agree more, I was very weary of Willa's pity parties by the end. I did love see more of Joe, Fiona, Sid and India.Misfithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05791628901417307647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-33108905532887566442011-08-06T00:18:52.709+10:002011-08-06T00:18:52.709+10:00I just read a similarly, mildly disappointed revie...I just read a similarly, mildly disappointed review for this book. If I had started the series, I'm sure I'd finish it, but having learned about it through the reviews of the last book, I'm not so sure! Thanks for the review, though.Col (Col Reads)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03136923310179832040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-11751700054512861432011-08-05T21:51:05.627+10:002011-08-05T21:51:05.627+10:00Ah!
