I really don't know if there's going to be a HEA in the sequel, but I sure hope so! The Bronze Horseman left me quite depressed, actually, although that wouldn't stop me from re-reading it.

I read somewhere that Ms. Simon's debut book, Tully, is also good. However when I searched at Amazon and read what the plot is about, somehow I felt that it's going to be another depressing tome. After The Bronze Horseman, I don't feel like I can take another one right now.

I also read a review of TBH from Publisher's Weekly (I think) posted at Amazon.com, which said that the book was 'overwrought' and full of melodrama, and that if the author was hoping it would equate to a 'Russian Thorn Birds', it wasn't. But I *hated* The Thorn Birds. To be fair though, I only got through it halfway, as I felt the sheer pathos overwhelmed any redeeming qualities the book may have had. Just my two cents!
