There is no plot to this story, no ‘big bad,' no issue to solve and overcome during the course of the story. Which would often mean that I was bored. But this is Reese and her (ever expanding, now planet-side) crew! I loved getting to spend more time with them, even for as sappy as it was and it it just makes me want to hug them. (Except for, maybe, the Eldritch. Don't want to make them TOO uncomfortable.) But, anyway, this story takes place DURING the end of the third book - because, if I remember right, that one actually finishes with a wedding and this one is the winter holiday season before the wedding. Still, though, even if there was no real impetus here, I loved seeing what everyone was up to and getting to see how Reese settles in as the lady of the manor. (While the story is stand alone, I'd recommend reading the series IN ORDER otherwise you're likely to be confused and get hit with a ton of spoilers. Which, should be no hardship, because this series is one of my favorite sci-fi series ever. ... If not my very favorite.)
