Title: Disappointing
Review: The action and intrigue in this book, like the words of its evil character Omar Duvall, are just promises. The reader is set up again and again expecting a worthwhile resolution and continuously disappointed. As such, after spending weeks with these miserable, self-denying townsfolk, the "happy" ending offered in not believable - it is incongruous with the author's 700 pages of character development. Skip this book and avoid the feelings of disappointment so well illustrated through the characters in Songs in Ordinary Time.
