Where the Light Enters
I really enjoyed this book. I liked the author's use of women who had strong feminist ideas at this time in history. Attitudes that were quiet new for that period of time. I would love to read a series based on the same characters and time periods. The author also did a nice job of bringing in side stories. I would have appreciated some more related to the ending. Somehow the ending appeared to occur too quickly and with some details appearing unfinished and left hanging with further explanations needed.

Oh, my...
Not only an enthralling story, but exceedingly well written. The second in a short series that is, itself an extension of an earlier series, Where the Light Enters stands alone very well. I'm ashamed to say I've not read Sara Donati before and will be searching out her earlier books to see the development of this excellent author. Any chance she needs more early readers?

Where the Light Enters
I enjoyed this book, it is a great follow up to the Gilded Hour, and can't wait to read the 3rd book! At 600 pages, I was at first dubious on how the author could keep me interested in it. But she explains on her blog, how she sometimes does go into great detail about the time period, that she wants to bring the reader right into that time, which she does! This story line has a lot of twists/turns and I can see that a 3rd book might be able to clear up some of the loose ends. I read a review by Tara McNabb, who feels this book can be read as a stand alone, I disagree, without reading the 1st book, I feel a reader might be lost about the main characters, Anna & Sophia.
