Have you ever read a book where the prologue was the most exciting part of the tale? Well, this one is like that. I waited for the story to measure up to its beginning, but it never did, which is strange because the plot was intriguing (the surviving members of a family are separated and we're left wondering if they ever reunite), and the subplots had great promise, too. There's a wastrel brother, an ex-employee bent on revenge, and a forced marriage, but all of this still failed to breathe life and emotional connection into these characters. The good news? It has a great beginning. Even though this mediocre tale is a fast read, it still deserves only three stars.
