I loved the relationships in this book, especially Hillary's with her daughter Claire. They were so sweet and honest with each other. The beginning of this book was a little slow. Too much time getting ready to go instead of going and doing. I rated House of Eire 3 it of 4 stars because of the slow take off. I liked to get pulled into a story right away!
I think it is interesting that you have that kind of take on a story. I finished reading a book a couple days ago that felt like the story moved too fast all the time. There wasn't much downtime between action scenes to really get to know the characters, so it felt kind of shallow. Personally, I prefer to read an overly flowery (read: wordy) book than one that doesn't delve enough into the story to really feel like it is real!
Thank you for your insight!
