The blur inside the cover of Lavender Morning [published in 2009] sounds interesting. Before the promise is over, it promises to be a romance, bringing a lot of interesting mystery and surprises.
The prologue made me very confused. It has a role from the vague, Miss Edi, who talks closely with a man named Helen and promises to get together in the next few days. It continues to mention many other roles, and I want to know how everyone fits together. I even checked the blur in front, twice, to confirm what the story should be and who. As the first chapter progressed, things became clearer, but I found that the confusing preamble initially interrupted my reading process.
I especially like the flashback of the early part of Miss Edi's life. These parts are revealed in bits and pieces, so the puzzles begin to merge. In some ways, her story does cover up the story of the current character, but it's good because it's obvious that their story is so intertwined.
What is bad for me is what I think is an important loose end, not handled by the completion of this book. Beginning with the preface, and then revealing all the events and past connections in the book, mentioning Miss Edi and her relationship with a man named Alex, who knew something about her from the past. situation. Their connections, as well as Alex's understanding of Miss Edi, have been mentioned until the end of the book. On the penultimate page of the book, when solving problems with the current characters, we will find out what we know about this secret, because a character will ask their relatives about it. It did not happen. Therefore, the secret mentioned in the whole book was not finally disclosed. For me, this is an unsatisfactory ending.
Then I found that Lavender Morning is actually the first book of the Edilean trilogy. So I checked some comments about the next two books because I was eager to understand them, so I can continue to read the stories that have been built. I am disappointed.
The second book, "Golden Years," tells the story of how many generations ago, and how Adeline's hometown was formed. It does not provide information about the secrets of Miss Alex and Miss Edi.
The third book, "The Scarlet Night," is the same as the first novel, and once again appeared in Adiline in the contemporary era. From what I have read about this book, its story is based on what happened between the two secondary characters in the first novel and introduced a new protagonist. So it seems to be an independent book, just in the familiar town of Edilean. It is unlikely to follow up on the content that Lavender Morning did not answer.
So, since I am confused about the beginning of this book, I really like Lavender Morning and want more stories. However, this is not what Jude Deveraux has provided in the following two books.
