** spoiler alert ** Not sure if I just started with too high of expectations but I was excited for this one and it fell short. It didn't hold my interest from the beginning but I kept thinking it would get better. I never fell in love with the characters and the story line is more full of sadness, loss, struggle than happiness or triumph. Seemed a lot of people who married the wrong person or made choices they later regretted. By the end Jane seems to finally start to accept this is her new reality as a working women instead of one born to have servants serving her. A lot left to resolve as to be expected given it is a series but I'm not even excited about returning to the setting so it doesn't seem I'll keep reading to find out what happens with people.
