After burning thru the fist two books in a weekend, I've been anxiously waiting the next installment.  As much as the second book was different from the first this is as different from the other two.  Took some getting used to but once i got to know the characters then i couldn't put it down.I found the beginning where the growth of Midian is defined, kind of hard to read.  Seems like the lengthy explanations of the different population groups could have be blended into the story rather than having it laid out like a history text book.  Once you got thru it the rest was good.Some of the sections could have used a good edit and trimmed down.  As an example, the lengthy section descibing every step of the daughters trip back home to get to her fathers deathbed seemed unneccessary.  I kept expecting something to happen to make it relevent to the overall storyline but it never did.  That's really a minor complaint.Overall a good read and I cant wait for the next installment.
