I liked this book better than [b:Roselynde|27931|Roselynde (The Roselynde Chronicles, #1)|Roberta Gellis|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1298419066s/27931.jpg|2271104]. I'm still not entirely sure I like Alinor, but at least in this book, she showed some jealousy, although she still has the attitude that sex is just like any other bodily function, so she doesn't care if her man has sex with someone else as long as he doesn't love the other woman. Um, no.
I know it was typical in that time period to foster children to other families, but it still blows my mind that at one point, her concern with leaving the country is her children's safety, not that she'll be leaving them for who-knows-how-long.
I'm not sure I like the ending of this book, but at least it's a HEA, for the most part and no major characters die during the book. (Simon is already dead when the book opens.)… (altro)
