I often enjoy one perspective a lot more than another when reading books with multiple narrators, but all 3 of these were good. They were also distinct from each other, which is another thing that I often do not find to be the case in books with multiple narrators. This is definitely a Juliet Marillier book, with the hallmarks of her work that you'd expect and want if you're picking up a novel of hers. She delivers so consistently, it's impressive!
