Started out decent but then devolved into rainbows and unicorns. This was an example of pretty pedestrian writing. I mean stuff happened and none of it was actually bad, (except the ending, that was pretty bad.) For example I never got a clear picture of the secondary characters. In fact except for Lon they were all interchangeable. And Lon was not really a believable character. He hated the hero for 20 years then suddenly the heroine shows him the error of his ways? Too pat. There were other problems but there's really no point in calling them out. Totally meh. ( )
