I really enjoyed this book. Was it as awesome as Three Junes? Not in my opinion. But it's still very good, and I recommend it. The best part was probably that Fenno reappears in this book, and I deeply love Fenno. My main "eh, not so great" moment with this book is there were several points of view, all going on in tandem. When I turned the page to the next chapter, I wasn't sure who I was getting: Greenie, Walter, Saga, or Alan. The reason it didn't completely turn me off was she roundly develops each narrator, and they have distinctly different voices and narration styles. Plus, it was genuinely an interesting story, where no one character could be considered the one in the right--which is how it often is in life. It was, however, a bit difficult to find a flow with this book because of the constant narration shifts. It still drove me to track down her next novel, which I'm about to dive into right now.
