I really enjoyed this one! The beginning wasn't as slow as Ross Poldark because I was already familiar with the cast of characters. I loved seeing Demelza's evolution in this book to becoming more confident in her role at Nampara and more independent. I was on the edge of my seat during parts of this book and devastated by the ending. I enjoyed the side characters and story lines, but the parts about the copper company were a little hard to follow for me.

Loved it.

I LOVE this series. I read it for the first time when I was 13 years old and I've read the entire series at least a half dozen times over these many years. I am listening to the audiobooks this time round and still loving it. The first four books in the series were published in the five years spanning 1945-1950 but they are timeless. I highly recommend this series. The audiobooks thus far have been outstanding.
