I really enjoyed Parts 1 & 2. After that the plot went in another direction and while the characters’ stories were connected well by all the authors, it just wasn’t quite working for me. I wanted to follow characters whose storyline ended. I think it just wasn’t the story I wanted. But what we got was solid.
Kate Quinn just heard that it might be made into a movie. I’d love to see it.
