    <body><![CDATA[This was the least satisfying to me of the three books in the trilogy. While it was nice to know what happened to everybody, it didn't feel as personal as the other two. The characters, particularly the younger members of the family, needed more character development.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I have loved this trilogy. I know that I fell into the stories of this family but there is so much more to the books. I only touched the surface of the political and historical setting. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I got fed up with a certain main character about halfway through this work, and tired in general of lugging the trilogy around. The ending also left things unresolved.]]></body>
