Beautiful writing, as to be expected, but not as deliciously tense as The Twentieth Wife. The stakes in this book were more centered on a favored wife keeping and then accelerating her social position, which is not something I much care about. I'm not sorry I read it, but was something of a let down to the triumph of the previous book.
