Dissapointing.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 February 2022

I have enjoyed previous books in this series and a number of Jean Granger's books' for me have been ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ , however this one did not come up to expectations. Political history seemed to come more to the fore and the story line lacked punch. Too "samy".

Not as good to me

Every book in this series got a 5 star rating from me. I absolutely loved this story until this one. Very disappointed. Everyone is entitled to their opinions and lifestyle but I sure don't have to agree with it and I sure don't enjoy reading about it. Just a very disappointed fan. I love Jean Grainger books but not this one. At least it has an awesome ending. I didn't want to see Harp and John Joe's story end. Would be nice to have another book about their lives together

A little disappointed

Reviewed in the United States on 24 January 2022

I felt some disappointment upon completing the book/series. The three prior books in the series were absolutely phenomenal. It seemed this last book was a lot of reiteration, especially where Ralph was concerned. The Harp/Elliot marriage storyline just didn't fit what I had envisioned for the final book. I will continue to read any new book JG writes as I've read every book of hers since the very beginning of it all. Thank you Jean for sure wonderful stories.

This book felt a bit flat

Reviewed in the United States on 1 March 2022

The headline says it all for me. I was looking forward to reading this book, as I have enjoyed the rest of the series. But this book was just a bit flat for me. You weren't pulled into the story so much as being told what was going on - there was no emotional connection to any of the characters. And that was a big disappointment. It also felt that what was happening was telegraphed from the beginning (ie, Elliott's story) so it wasn't really a surprise - in fact, it was so obvious, it was disappointing.

I also found Harp's attitude toward a lot of what was going on to be rather annoying. Her attitude towards her bohemian lifestyle as well as towards JJ was particularly annoying. I also felt that Ralph's story felt shoehorned in, and it wasn't done well at all. We know Ralph is a despicable human being, so his scene at the end of the book was so out of character that it was unbelievable.

I think it was mostly that we were outside the story as the reader, looking in at this story, which was different from the other books. A shame, really.

great story line but too much enumeration of past books

This was a great storyline but too much of it was an enumeration from previous books in the series. The women’s suffrage movement was well done with many of the oppressive details revealed. The emergence of gay lifestyles in the 1920swell written and resolved.

Disappointed

I’ve loved so many of )ean Greinger’s books. This one felt like the story was being told around historical newspaper clippings. Found myself skipping paragraphs the further along in the book I got. Then I felt like it was getting preachy. More and more of her opinions coming through and less and less of the story being told. Too bad.

A Deep Flaw in a Great Novel.....

Jean Grainger is a wonderful writer, but there was a scene in Roaring Liberty that did not ring true. Any individual, faced with the prospect of dying in a fire, would run. Out of instinct any person sane or not wouldn't choose suicide by smoke inhalation and burning to death, however noble his last thoughts and wishes might be.

Last in the series

I felt this book was weaker than the others in the series. The characters lacked definition. Too much was put in so the story was sappy
