Actually 3 1/2 stars.

This was a pretty good book, I liked it. Only I could never keep the families straight for some reason and which wife was which. Plus there was something kind of cold and unemotional about it that kind of kept me at a distance. I never really did bond with any one character so I wasn't that emotionally invested in the story.

So yeah, it's pretty good. Only, it's not great.
