Goodness, it's been nearly two decades since the first time I read this first novel
The writing style isn't that sharp or surprising, and it's a little jarring when the point of view in a scene switches between characters with little to no warning. But the people here are believable, and their storylines are natural with substance that isn't too heavy. It's wholesome reading without a lot of schmaltz.
The ending is satisfying but doesn't tie everything up with a tidy, perfect bow. I'm looking forward to revisiting the second novel.
