Yeah, that plot doesn’t really make sense. At all.

I read this one when it first came out and really enjoyed it. I never really considered if it was believable though…I just got caught up in the story Thanks for sharing your honest thoughts on it!

I think I liked this one a bit more then you did, but your reflections and questions do make a lot of sense. I had not thought too deeply about why these girls wouldn’t have come willingly, or why girls were selected this way. I got really invested in the sister-wives thing, but that may just be my latent need to read books about polygamy Very thought-provoking review today. You certainly made me think about some things!

I have been curious about this book, but that is about the extent of it. I have never rushed out to get a copy or anything.

I’m sorry Wither fell short for you, but you did bring up some really good points that I had never thought of before, like why aren’t orphans offering themselves up as wives at these rich mansions instead of people going or and kidnapping and killing. That had never crossed my mind, so thank you for that.

I saw the big splash this one made and always wondered if it was for me. I do have trouble suspending disbelief at times, so it may not be.

What a shame! This book sounded so promising, but after reading your review I think I might just give it a miss.
