Review - I am beginning to really and truly hate Lady Beverly. She is just mean and selfish trying to force her children to get her back her home. However, I really loved the children, and the two protagonists so it wasn't all bad. I loved the added complication of children in this one. They meant that there was more at stake than just the two directly involved. I loved how one of them finally managed to marry an owner of Mannerling then persuaded him to sell it.

Despite my lack of enthusiasm for this series, here I am again suffering for no reason but the art of completeness I think, as I work through book four of six, or six million as it feels like.
Fairly dire and dull and none of the promised, from my own hopes humour.
Anyway not much to see here.
