Query: Did not meet expectations

I was impatient waiting for this book to come out. But it ended up being a big disappointment. Lynn Kurland's best book is This is all I ask. This certainly does not measure up. Gwen was a disappointment. She was forever getting into scrapes and thinking she could save the day, but all she ever did was make things worse. Rhys was interesting, but lacked the charisma of some of Kurland's other heros. Overall, I am glad I read this book because it explains where the de Piagets come into the picture, but otherwise it was a waste of time.
