I found this book because it was the same author of The Brides of Rollrock Island and I enjoyed that tale so I thought I'd try this one.
I'll admit - it took me a bit to finish this book. I didn't devour it as quickly as I have others. I read The Dragon and the George before this book and was finished in 3 days. This book took me two weeks. I found it hard to stay involved, and sometimes found myself confused as to what was going on. I stopped picking up the book before I went to bed and just went to bed, briefly wondering what was going to happen next. As I passed the midway point and entered the home stretch, it 'clicked' and I started to get the idea about the heaven and the real world. I don't know where I missed it in the first part of the book or where the disconnect was - but what's done is done.
Overall, I enjoyed my time in the world of bears who arent bears and gold that only is gold when taken from heaven and rude wee little men. Now that it's done, I can move on to other stories I have waiting for me.
I will say that even though I wasn't enthralled by the book - Urdda's gesture to Branza at the end for her birthday actually made me cry, and I don't know why because up until then I wasn't feeling close to the three women and the bears at all. I was actually upset for Liga too.
