![]() Do they weed out life's complications as ruthlessly as they would weed a garden? Sometimes a weed turns into a beautiful flower or a helpful herb but you'll never know if you pull it too soon. I have often wondered how these people manage to live such straightforward lives, to keep their emotions so simple and tidy. But complete fidelity of the heart in a relationship is something that has always eluded me. ![]() ![]() Here, in a 2 1/2-page self-absorbed interior monologue, Lannie mulls over her problems with fidelity: "Some would say I should never have returned to Luke if this was how I felt about Adair, that it was wrong of me to go back to him if I had any doubts. Those chapters review the events of the previous two books and provide Lannie with an opportunity to ponder the intricacies of love, death, mortality, and immortality at great, melodramatic length. The first ten chapters (about 1/3 of the book) are told in the first-person voice from Lanore (Lannie) McIlvrae's point of view (POV). ![]() Katsu finishes off her series in a mishmash of a novel that uses the plot device from Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, references to evil-queen fairy tales, and lots of soap opera moments. ![]()
