I did it, I completed the Love Medicine series! I really enjoyed most of the books, just one didn't really grab my attention so overall, a beautifully written series of books.
This one started off dark and depressing and I can't say that really ever changed but there was certainly hope at the end so it's worth reading. Once we got into the history of the drum and the people involved, I was finally more engaged although I didn't connect as much to these characters as to previous Love Medicine characters. A couple people from the other books were mentioned though and it was nice to reconnect with them, if even for just a little while. I enjoyed this ending to the series.
