A reread, but I can’t remember any of the details from last time around. I just recall vaguely thinking that the book didn’t make a lot of sense when I read it by itself. As the third volume of a series it makes more sense. Mostly I’ve enjoyed these three books for being a chance to curl up with one of my favourite authors again. The books aren’t as good as the McCones but as a trilogy they make a better story than as individual books. The ending of this one feels a bit like Muller had decided not to writer any more books about Joanna and decided to put ‘and they lived happily ever after’ on the last page. Nothing wrong with that really, a bit of closure never hurts.
