So this one didn't quite measure up to the level of The Winter Sea and The Firebird, but for all that it was still a great read. The characters we fun and easy to like. They fit their roles well and developed convincingly, even though it was exactly as expected. The reveal at the end that Claire "time traveled" too, and that Oliver becomes her confidant and that Eva is the Grey Lady was well played out and described. For all that time travel can sometimes be confusing, I feel that the author did a great job with it. And of course the Eva/Daniel love story that is the center of the novel is exactly what it should be. Loved it!
