At first I wasn’t too sure about this book because the characterization of Doro and Emma felt so different from Wild Seed. But since they were published at such different times it makes more sense to me. I also wasn’t sure how I felt about Mary and the rest of the new cast, but they all grew on me rather quickly and the story sucked me in. I ended up liking this one more than Wild Seed. I’m excited for the next book!
