This book was good, but a tad rambling in the plot. And there was a lot of plot to sift through. The beginning was rather confusing because the reader is dropped into the exact middle of a story that is very clearly in progress. Very little explanation of who the characters are and what their relationships are to each other are given. All is eventually explained, but some readers might find it tiresome. For my part, the writing was an inducement to get past the initial confusion and get to the point where the book starts to make sense and the action comes together. My only real complaint is the almost ridiculous amount of plot the author introduces and then only manages to resolve the main romance. Sub plots are fun and I certainly enjoy meaty books with large casts, but it is very frustrating to invest interest in characters and plot devices and then get no resolution. This book was written in a very old-school style, and while I found it enjoyable it may not be to everyone's taste.
