I finished reading the trilogy and started the sequel (hope to finish it tonight), A Second Chance. I have really enjoyed these books (and will probably review them at my blog), but, Shayne, I was a little disappointed in Settling the Account and am a little disappointed in A Second Chance. The disappointment is the attempt to wrap everything up so neatly and even have the cycle repeat itself. The writing remains excellent and the story interesting, but it became predictable. For example, it was clear within 2 pages of the introduction of Sarah who she was and when Amy left to visit Sarah, it was obvious what was going to happen. I think it would have been better to have omitted the sequel entirely and avoided introducing Sarah.
Having said that, let me reiterate that I am enjoying all of the books, including the sequel. My comment is not a reflection on the quality of the work, just the predictability, and I would still highly recommend these books (and I look forward to reading the next in the series).
