I suspect she was asked numerous times for this story by the fans who loved the trilogy so much but when it came down to it the execution just wasn't there for me.Marghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13508430635744720721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5944570901299649958.post-28047927978100563432013-03-06T14:47:48.436+00:002013-03-06T14:47:48.436+00:00Your review makes me wonder if an author can succe...Your review makes me wonder if an author can successfully go back in time with a story line rather than forward. I also wonder whether the author is attempting to capture some of the pixie-dust associated with the Downton Abbey era.

I was really hoping for it be as good (or almost as good) as The Bronze Horseman and it just wasn't. If there is another book, I am really hoping that it is better than this one.DeniseFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07476386776444158881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5944570901299649958.post-15413542290204158582013-03-05T01:39:07.957+00:002013-03-05T01:39:07.957+00:00I'm bummed you didn't like this one.

How disappointing for you to not enjoy the book as you had hoped, especially when they are a favourite. I have not heard of this author, but might investigate a bit. Sadly, I have had a similar experience with an author I really enjoy. Julie Goucherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11368170005503879489noreply@blogger.com
