It's nice to visit old friends sometimes. It has been awhile since I ventured into the magical worlds of Kurland and I found I still thoroughly enjoy it! She is still way too wordy, somewhat silly but always wonderful fun.

The story line in "Much Ado..." is very much the same as is has been throughout the entire Piaget/MacCloud series with the hero (in this instance Conner MacDougal) and heroine (Victoria MacKinnon) jumping through time on their quest for true love. In previous books, Conner was portrayed as a nasty, rather unlikeable character and Victoria the overly brash and headstrong sister to other main characters. Here, we find them both completely changed, Conner cries and Victoria's insecure. While we understand Victoria's about-face (after all, we all experience those self-doubting moments - even the most determined of us) but Conner's weeping jags just cannot rise to believable if we are to also accept him as a hardened medieval Laird. Aw well, one reads Kurland for the fantasy after all and THAT part never disappoints!
