I'm often leery of books that tout having a "strong female character" as though there are books that then have weak female characters. Generally speaking, they're all strong. But Heather's main attribute isn't that she's strong, it's that she loves deeply. That's what creates both her victories and her challenges. She may not always make the best of decisions, but you ultimately understand her choices because you know they come from a deep, abiding love for her father. I really enjoyed that about her character. I see there are other books in this series and I very much want to read them, now. I enjoy authors who can make the "typical strong female character" likable for more reasons than just that she makes her own decisions. What makes us love characters is that they are somehow noble and yet somehow like us, and that's what I felt Heather delivered better than the rest. Very enjoyable book.
