Rating:  - Less than stellar ending...
I was disappointed to finish Nora Roberts' third installment of the "Three Sisters" trilogy and have a feeling of "eh" about the whole thing.Mia, to me, was the most compelling of the three witches and I relished the idea of reading her story. I thought that Roberts did a great job of "previewing" her story throughout the other two books, but this novel disappointed me. The "spells" that were conducted throughout the book were distracting. The fact that Mia and Sam were the personification of the first "Fire" and "Water" meant to me that the story would be compelling and interesting. Instead, I felt that Roberts did not build the tension between the two of them and that when they finally acted on their passion it was anti-climactic. It was almost as if there was too much going on in the story, and the author was so anxious to wrap everything up that she neglected the romance between the two. I usually love every novel written by Roberts. I buy her books without even reading the backs of them, but I have to say, if this were the first novel I'd read by her, I don't know that that would be the case.
Rating: - The series goes out with a bang
Before reading this trilogy I'd never read anything by Nora Roberts before, which I know is kind of surprising since she's written so much. Anyway, I really enjoyed it and I had unwittingly picked up the first two to take on a long plane ride without realizing that the third had yet to be written! When I finally got ahold of this book I was very happy with it. I couldn't wait to get to Mia's story. Mia seemed to be the most mysterious, independent, confident woman of the three sisters and I just had to know about her life. I think I'd built up too much momentum and excitement over her, though, because I was engrossed in the novel but didn't find it quite as compelling as the other two. However, I still highly recommend it. Mia is one wild woman. ;) And of course all the loose ends from the series are tied up in this last book. I wish there were more books in this particular series!
Rating:  - Finally!
Nora Roberts has done it yet AGAIN! I love a great trilogy and no one can do them like Nora! It was great to finally experience Mia and find out that she wasn't as together as she appeared to be in Books 1 and 2. You can't help but fall in love with the Three Sisters men: Sam, Zack and Mac. I hated for the book to end but hope we get a chance in the future to read about the offsprings of Earth, Fire(and Water), and Air!
