Query: Not terrible, but not as good as her other work.

I do not like to start a book and not finish it, but I thought seriously about doing that with this one, as well as "Burning Bright". I thought the present day character was whiney and flakey and was terribly depressed with the "historical" part of the novel. It's been a while since I read this but I remember thinking "what the heck this all that have to do with this?". And then wished I read something else. I was moderately entertained but it was utterly forgettable. Nothing gained. But still, better than "Burning Bright". If you've read any of my other reviews, you know how much I am working to keep others from reading that horrid "novel". This was better than that one, but still don't highly recommend it. There's lots of better stuff to read.
