When I saw that this book was billed as part of a trilogy with Butterfly and Stars, I was thrilled. Those books - delicious and fun fiction - made me want to devour this one. Even as I did, I wondered what was left to fill in after Stars? Well, after reading it, I think the answer was a whole two lines - a couple of offhand references to Butterfly early in the book. The general world was the same, that was it. I gave it two stars because if it hadn't been billed as part of a trilogy, I wouldn't have picked it up. If, for some reason I had, it may have rated three starts. I don't know. This is one of those times where a book suffers by comparison to an author's previous work.
