I've listened to a short story by the author in collection with Brandon Sanderson and was so impressed that I wanted to hear more of her books. This one, unfortunately was a pure disappointment. Altogether the story is just okay. Not exciting, not particularly thrilling. The ending on the other hand - is a complete rubbish! Did author just got bored and wanted to finish it off for the sake of it? The moral of the ending make zero sense to me. So we are supposed to forgive the person who started the whole mess, risked ruining the wines, while told not to - done it anyway in secret, contacted negations on behalf of the family while based on : "oh, I thought you better do that"? Are you kidding me?

Did author just got bored of their story?
