![]() ![]() I saw it coming, yet I hoped against hope that she would not copy Louisa May Alcott and stick the youngest, Batty, with the main protagonist Jeffrey. Rather Birdsall copied Little Woman which I was hoping she wouldn’t do. Why am I so aggravated? Because Skye does not marry Jeffrey. There were loose threads waiting to be tied up that never got tied up. That said, I would have been fine with the lack of conflict if certain character’s stories had been completed. Unfortunately, I soon realized that once you take out the conflict there isn’t much left to tell. My stories had the sole purpose of removing conflict and making all my characters have these perfect lives. ![]() ![]() Granted, my 8-year-old self was not a fan of conflict. ![]() What the heck is the point of reading a book where everything goes smoothly? It’s boring. It lacked the emotion, the passion, and depth of insight of the previous books. Why? Because this last book, the culmination to years spent with these characters completely fell flat. So go no further if that is not okay with you. ATTENTION: This review is chock full of spoilers. Lydia frolicks in meadows, plays with sheep, oh and choreographs a dance for her sisters wedding. ![]()
