At first, this book lived up to the first one's standard. Yes it is shallow, but how deep is it supposed to be? The element of Will and Elizabeth's wild-west life added a little slightly cliche sparkle to this book, (view spoiler)[but once Henry and Diana had sex, the book began to go downhill, becoming long and tedious and having little plot. (hide spoiler)] Aside from that, it's "did-not-finish." Enough said.
