Wow. The story again started with a bit of background about what has happened over the past five books (and short story). Again, I thought that this background fit in as perfectly as I've read in any book (and even though I've read all the books, the review helped me remember what happened in what order in the previous books).

Then we get to the stories in this book (and the set up for some super interesting stories for the next one as well). The main one in this novel is Eva and Zoe going back to Aiden for the opening of the memorial and new hospital on the grounds of the hospital in which Eva was kept. Along the way they get caught up in a couple of other stories too.

I loved that we got to see Father H again, and the entrance scene for him was definitely unique and awesome.

All family stuff hit the right tones again. And I always feel as though Zoe and Eva on the page can easily be a real life family and friend group.

Also, the historical part firmly put me in the right mindset for the time period in which it was set (sometimes, unfortunately, because, like the current time it wasn't a perfect time). These are women of their time who are both in their time and ahead of their time at the same time. But, they (thankfully don't read like 'current' modern women being written in another time, which I've read in other books.

Way back when I started reading these stories because they were called 'Uber Xena'. Now Zoe and Eva have become so, so, so much more than that. They come alive as themselves when I read these books. Awesome! ( )
