Title: This isn't one of Putney's best efforts
Review: I have enjoyed Mary Jo Putney books in the past but I just couldn't get into this book. I read part of it and put it aside while I read 3 or 4 other books. Then I came back to it and read a little bit more and it hit me that I was just trying to finish it so I could start reading something else that I could enjoy. At that point, I knew this was a book I would end up taking to Goodwill.Early in the book we are told that Gwynne will betray Duncan and throughout the book we are constantly reminded of that fact. I started thinking, "Enough with the betrayal already! If she's gonna do it, just go ahead and do it!!!!" By the time the "betrayal" finally comes it is terribly anticlimactic and you find yourself asking, "Is that it? That's all there is to it?" I was just very disappointed!Oh, and by the way, I have read all the other reviews and it seems everyone either LOVES this book or HATES it. Makes me wonder...did we all read the same book?
Is the review positive or negative?
