I was pretty disappointed by the third and final volume of Tepper's Marianne trilogy. I mean, at the end of Book 2 she's gone back to relive her life for the third time in an attempt to finally get it right, and I expected Book 3 to be about that. But surprise, at the beginning of Book 3 all that is over with, and she spends the entire book lost in a silly board game. Except for making it extremely obvious that Ms. Tepper really, really doesn't like cats, I'm not sure what function Book 3 served in the story arc. Seemed to me like an extended anticlimax.
