Like the over-use of the word "embedded" during the first Gulf war. I must say that the story line was okay and I loved reading about some of the history of Hawaiian quilts but......
In general I find the first few books written in a series are great and then they fall off. The Jean Auel books come to mind. The first 2 were great but the next one wasn't as good.
