Good story - the last half kind of drags, but I really like the complexity of the characters.

Wow! This book started really slowly for me. I knew it was going to be a tough story and it was, but the character development was wonderful.
It was hard not to find sympathy and hatred for all the characters and as a testament to how good it was - I kept reading it through handing out candy to Trick or Treaters on Halloween night!

I really enjoy the main character of this series, probably because I'm a bit of a geek myself. The rest of the quilting world seems fairly accurately portrayed! I look forward to more!
