Nowhere near as good as 1 & 2. Not because of the ending (I liked that) but because I felt like I had to slog through hundreds of pages of repetitious angst, waiting around (and stuck inside Katniss's head where I didn't want to be), and pol

“Leave it to women to be cryptic rather than straightforward”
Kaye Dacus, Ransome's Honor

“What did I ever do to deserve a grandmother like you?

I don't know, but it must have been something wonderful.”
Kaye Dacus, Turnabout's Fair Play

“The men cheered, but the pounding of William’s heart drowned it out. His wife. He looked down at her in wonder. Hints of the ten year old Julia Witherington remained in the freckles across her nose and dimples in her cheeks. But standing beside him, Julia Ransome, was his wife-the woman he had been falling in love with for the past twenty years.
He now understood, fully comprehended, Collin’s decision to resign his commission and stay in England to be with Susan. Willam’s ship, his career, his reputation, none of it mattered any longer.
For if asked, William himself would walk away from his crew, forsake his duty, and even sacrifice his own honor to provide for and protect Julia.
Love remanded nothing less.”
Kaye Dacus, Ransome's Honor
