I'm currently reading this! My characters talk to me All. The. Time. which doesn't mean I can just take dictation. I listen but the words don't flow.

Anyway, I can see Caroline's issue because she wants Rosamond, Leo, and Robin to behave like paper dolls according to her outline but they refuse.

It's interesting and different. Rosamond is much closer to reality than the norm. She's grieving for her husband. Worried about her children. Not 24!

I recommend it.

Bought and read after listening to the entire series. They really are independent of each other, such that watching one doesn't reveal the complete story of the other.

Jill is from what I'd call ... sword-tube. These people really care about accuracy in weapons and fighting styles--with Jill particular -tism being looking at armor. (It's from that, that the title of the book stems.) This space tends to be very non-ideological. The priority is being right about armor, weapons, tactics. Not being a commie or capitalist. I suspect that feeds writing convincing and compelling stories as well.
