Query: Meh.

I bought this trilogy after reading some of the authors other books - The other Boleyn Girl, The Boleyn Inheritance, The Queens Fool, The Constant Princess, etc. I enjoyed those books immensely. They had some humor and intrigue and were very well done.The Wideacre series is nothing like the others. It is a tacky, trashy, tawdry, semi-historical soap opera. Incest, greed, and horses seem to be the main characters of the series. Meridon was a waste of time, and the first two books in the series were not any better. I felt compelled to finish the series only because I had paid for the books, and kept hoping the storyline would improve. I was bored with the same description of Meridons hair as a tumbling mop of copper curls that was used repeatedly, and the whole character of Dandy was useless. And even though I don't have a medical degree, I think that the product of two generations of incest would be not only a little farfetched, but not in the robust health Meridon enjoys for most of her life.
