I read and reviewed The Heretic's Daughter when it came out, and found it passable but forgettable, and thought that the narrator's voice robbed the book of adult complexity. I wonder if her sophomore effort is any better? Unfortunately the first book doesn't make me want to run out for the next. But thanks for the review anyway.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09314153391153507955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-26213812871417906172011-01-28T12:12:16.159-05:002011-01-28T12:12:16.159-05:00I have this one on my shelf but somehow I keep for...I have this one on my shelf but somehow I keep forgetting about it!

I appreciate your comments about the reader's performance of Thomas.
