This might be the least successful of L"Engle's "Vicky" novels. For a long time she answered questions about "what happened to Vicky?" by saying that she wouldn't continue this protagonist's story until the moment was right and as someone who waited many years for that moment I was disappointed. Although L'Engle picks up the story where she left off after Ring of Endless Light, contemporary culture moved too fast, I think, in the interim. I wanted to love this book and wish I could report that I did.
