This is an oddly compelling book, not at all what I was expecting.  The author writes quite tersely and directly to the point.  I think it is important that the reader know this is a continuing saga and while this first book does end satisfactorily, it also, as should be expected leaves you wondering.This particular story is of course the beginning of the saga of the MacGreagor family.  It apparently continues in other books to cover 4 generations of MacGreagors.I did like all the characters but admit to a bit of confusion as so many were introduced.  This covers the lives of not just the family but apparently the servants too. All of the characters were really quite compelling, but the author does not go into much depth in any one character.I only gave this a three star because it was quite different and not what I am used to, however the most important point here is I will be getting Book 2.  I definitely do want to know what happens.  Whether I continue on with the series remains to be seen, but, right now I am still interested and as this is a free read I recommend you give it a try.  It will not be for everyone, but then most books aren't.
