Really wasn’t crazy about this one.

Not thrilled. Nelson is definitely one of my favorite authors with The Storm Testament series so I was excited to pick this one up over the weekend.
I liked the local topics and that I could learn about so many things but sometimes it seemed like a lecture instead of two friends talking. I was VERY unthrilled (I'm making a new word) with behaviors of the characters and their cavalier attitudes towards hurting family members for their own benefit. Not cool!

The struggle between the two characters is engaging, yet I just can not condone adultery and was disappointed at their weakness. Polygamy also shows up a bit in the book, which I did not like.
