After lots of trouble downloading this book from Net Gallery, I finally spotted it at the library and checked it out myself.
It must have taken me three or four tries to get into. The first 'chapter' is a rather dry account of the family tree. Whilst I understand why it's been included, I can't help but feel that adding it right at the start like so is the biggest reason that threw me off.
The story is interesting but the ending felt a little rushed. I love the concept but I wouldn't seek this book out to read again.
