First line: "Norman Arminger -- he rarely thought of himself as anything but the Lord Protector these days - stared at the great map that showed his domains, and those of his stubbornly independent neighbors; it covered the whole of the former Oregon and Washington, with bits of the old states of Idaho and northern California thrown in."
Best part: Dramatic conclusions!
Worst part: Series seems to be extending indefinitely.

Yes, it really is. :) The whole series is set in Oregon, actually.

Yeah, I noticed that there are several more books following the adventures of everybody's kids. Hmm. Well, I still need to read this one first. Glad to hear that there are at least some Dramatic Conclusions. :)
