This book was different. I'm not sure if it was because of her working with Judith Pella, but the book didn't really tie any loose ends up. The book focused the most on Fanny, the heiress that her uncle resents. The man that Fanny loves ends up heading to Alaska to seek his fortune. I was a little disappointed that the romance between the two was lost in the scheming of the uncle and the backstory foundation being laid for the other two cousins (who are focused on in the other 2 books). I did a little peeking and found out that everything seems to get wrapped up in the final book.
I personally am not fond of this type of trilogy, so there is little chance of me spending more time or money on it. I like resolution of one story or at least part of one before commiting myself to another. While this rarely happens in real life, I don't read to mirror real life. I read for the enjoyment, and the frustration I feel when finishing a book and knowing that absolutely nothing will be resolved for another two novels gets under my skin.
