YIKES this had so much promise and just did not deliver!  The premise is so intriguing - we start out with Rua, awakening in an unfamiliar place with no memory of her previous life.  She's thrust into a gilded age society world as "Emma" the daughter of the Harrington family, and starts to have flashbacks to life as an Irish war goddess.  Unfortunately, the flashbacks weren't effective in illustrating that side of the story and began to feel confusing and uninteresting.  There wasn't an effective villain, and the other sides of the Morrison didn't feel present enough to add any tension to the story.  I was more scared of Annette than of Balb.
