I'm so disappointed. After waiting a long time for it to come out I found this book disjointed, it has no main story or plot and jumps around all over the place.
It left me feeling very sad. I loved nearly all the other books apart from one other which was too full of herb details. They all had meaning, a purpose. This one dosen't. I have realised over the years that the more successful a writer becomes the longer it takes them to write the next book and often they don't live up to expectations. AE Auel for one with the last 2 Clan of the Cave Bear books. Maybe it's time to write one more book and finish the saga with a great story so we can remember the books and their characters with fondness.
