The struggles that Katie went through were a little violent, but not so much so that I wanted to stop reading (and I'm a wimp, so really, they weren't that bad.) My heart broke for her when she lost Collin and was brought face-to-face with his evil brother Ian, and even left to his mercy.
The characters were rich and fully developed, and the author brought me on an enjoyable and sometimes suspenseful journey through the Scottish Highlands in an old keep. I felt immersed in 18th century Scotland and experienced everyday life then, such a making soap, carding wool, and blood feuds. The book was well worth reading and I am looking forward to the final book in this series.
A Promise for Tomorrow picks up right where Yesterday's Promise left off. The author has indicated that this series will have a total of three books. While each book has a clean ending that could be considered to not be a cliff-hanger, the books clearly build on one another and each one hints that there is more to come.
While some books that are a part of a series like this spend half the books telling you what you already read in the preceding books, A Promise for Tomorrow does not do that at all. In fact, if it wasn't for the fact that I had just read the first book a few months ago, I would have been completely lost reading it.
