Customer Reviews
It’s all in the detail- wherever it might be
The Gunny Rose series has been a terrific read. Yet part three - whilst still entertaining seems to gloss over periods of time - especially at the start and at the end.
(Spoiler alert for following paragraph)
For example, the reasons the Czar wants Eli to leave at the end are not fully explained (or explored).
Was there a bit of a rush to get into the story? One second, you are in Texoma, then you are in the HRE- literally in a couple of pages - it seems to miss the opportunity to explore the journey introduce some sub plots perhaps.
Is it worth a second read? Absolutely. Is it as good as the first two - jury is out on that question.
