I read this book previously and enjoyed it even then, but as it has been republished with some changes, decided to reread it from the beginning once more. It was even better this time around. Jen McConnel has a rare gift for creation of characters. She knows how to strike a balance between those you will love and those that will leave you feeling a bit prickly. I was dually impressed by the fact that her characters can transcend time and still be believable and make you care about them as well as the idea that everything in this book is interconnected in some manner.This is a complex novel, but it will not take you long to read as the story keeps you wanting to come back for more. The focus of the story broadens as you get further in, but never loses its way. This is a story that will keep you up late into the night reading because it refuses to be put down.Excellent book, worthy of a read--even more than once.
