Title: Not equal to previous books
Review: Unsual women and great plots are the hallmark of Johanna Lindsey's writing. In the "Joining" Ms. Lindsey has fallen from her usual standards. She also is in the "authentic spelling" syndrome many good authors seem to be dabbling in. Using the "Olde English" names for characters only brings confusion. Yet, this is not the true flaw of this selection. Here the author uses the essence of a previous work of her's "Tender Rebel". With the Malory books Ms. Lindsey is an author without equal. But with the "Joining" she has given her readers a predictable plot, uninteresting characters and a book I could wait to finish. Every author has an off selection. I'm certain many readers will love this work, I however, didn't. I hope her next selection will be up to her previous excellence.
