Great story, poorly told. The author keeps telling us how we should feel about the hero, she lets her own relationship with the hero overwhelm her depiction of him. I wanted her to remain impartial so I could make up my own mind. There needs to be a lot more detail in each section too so that we get a fuller picture of the whole story. I wanted much more time to discover all of the subplots. It’s no suprise that it started out as a film script, it feels like a film script with all of the detail of a novel left out. A woman faints because her brother returns home - really? Another woman gets whisked if her feet by a man while her friends take his horse and cart somewhere? What did they do with it? Either get the facts or make some up - Shame.
