I loved all of this!!
The family relationships aren't easy, but they don't give up on them. There are cultural differences that they work through as well. I loved the development that happens throughout the book.
It was a unique to see Rayne's life fall apart in the first chapters and then see how that played out in the rest of the novel. That was a good under current while she was also trying to rescue the castle and town.
The mystery is woven in with Rayne's management of the castle and learning the people and the town. All parts of the story are woven together really well. So there aren't separate parts to evaluate. It is all one flowing story. Even the solution to the mystery flows with other parts.
There are also hints as to where the story is going. I can't wait for book 2!
