First time I have read a book from this author and it won’t be the last one. A slower read but an enjoyable one would recommend to any one who is a fan of older sifi

Good book. Was really confused when I got to part 2. It was really good but I was like what, how does this have anything to do with part 1. It was like a completely different book. Part of me wish that she got to face all the guys, to see the shock on there faces. Honestly I’m fine with Diem dying, he deserved what was coming to him. I figured little Suzie would still be alive, but I didn’t think Marie would have kept her, glad she got her shit together but that doesn’t make it right what she helped do to that family. Happy Lesa found a guy that she could trust.
