Colleen Coble has a gift for developing characters and stories within her books, and this book is no exception. I enjoyed the historical elements that were mixed into the story such as Haley’s comet. While there was some romance in the book, it was done tastefully and didn’t overpower the story. There were enough twists in the story to hold my attention when the story slowed down.
The Lightkeeper’s Ball is the third and final book in the A Mercy Falls series. I have not read the first two books, The Lightkeeper’s Daughter and The Lightkeeper’s Bride, but this book is fine as a stand alone book.
