Best, I guess, to have left it to our individual imaginations.Âīesides, I can sympathize with what I might project to have been a desire to finally be finished after so many years.  There was so much more that could have been explored and revealed  (revisited and resolved?!) Glad, however she didn't just end it with an epilogue and baby five or ten years down the road. Yes, in fact, there needed to have been at least one more book.
There were too many parts and characters that I felt needed further voice and resolution. My main problem with the book is the end felt too crammed and a little garbled. Some of the twists were expected, but some very clever and unexpected, at least to me. And I really loved the warmth and personality Day portrayed in so many of the secondary characters - they weren't just background, but people you really came to care about. I'm a fast reader, so I've finished my first reading - though I kept trying to slow myself down because I didn't want it to end.įirst impressions - the first ninety percent or so of the book is just terrific!  How the author wove and handled all her threads was masterful, and I loved how Eva and Gideon handled all that was thrown at them.
 Just as well to have gotten some sleep. Found this morning it had been delivered at 12:45. Stayed up until 12:30 waiting, but no book, so I went to bed.
