Title: My Least Favorite of the Calder Books
Review: There were no real redeeming qualities to this one--no endering characters, no emotional tugs, no interesting plot developments. It was just several hundred pages of the narcistic heroine and the emotionally detached machinations of the people around her. A hundred pages into it I found myself wondering if we would ever get back to Montana where there were at least characters I liked. (We did, eventually, but all those characters were unfortunately marginalized even then.)Because I had already bought it, I followed this up with "Lone Calder Star" and liked it much better. I wish I had just skipped Laura's story. I have a suggestion: if Ms. Dailey insists on killing off main characters, I vote for Laura and Tara.
