I have read many of Robert's books and have been very entertained by all, but I have to agree with some of the others, this book was so boring. It took me months to finish this one, whereas It usually takes me a few weeks to finish her books. The plot and characters were just dull and predictable. I will however continue with Nora, this was my first dislike of all that I have read, afterall she can't please all of us!
