Die Sturmschwester
Die Sturmschwester: Roman - Die sieben Schwestern | Lucinda Riley
Der Wind und das Wasser, das sind die groen Leidenschaften in Allys Leben, die sie zu ihrem Beruf gemacht hat: Sie ist Seglerin und hat bei manch riskanter Regatta auf den Meeren der Welt ihren Mut unter Beweis gestellt. Eines Tages aber stirbt vllig berraschend ihr geliebter Vater Pa Salt, und Ally reist zu dem Familiensitz am Genfer See. Wie auch ihre fnf Schwestern wurde sie als kleines Mdchen von Pa Salt adoptiert und kennt ihre wahren Wurzeln nicht. Ihr Vater hinterlsst ihr aber einen rtselhaften Hinweis auf ihre Vorgeschichte die Biographie eines norwegischen Komponisten aus dem 19. Jahrhundert, in dessen Leben die junge Sngerin Anna Landvik eine schicksalhafte Rolle spielte. Allys Neugier ist geweckt, und sie begibt sich auf Spurensuche in das raue Land im Norden. Sofort ist sie zutiefst fasziniert von der wilden Schnheit der Landschaft, aber auch von der betrenden Welt der Musik, die sich ihr dort erffnet. Und als sie schlielich dem Violonisten Thom begegnet, der ihr auf unerklrliche Weise vertraut ist, fngt sie an zu ahnen, dass ihre jugendliche Liebe zur Musik kein Zufall war...

Book 2, Norway, classical music, sailing, a little love and a little history. Love when I find a good series where everything is there to read. Will take a break, read another genre then will move on to Sister #3!:)

4½✨

This was just WOW!
Ally's story is gutwrenchingly beautiful.
It ripped-out my heart, stomped on it, then tenderly put it back together. This one drained me.
It is only the 2nd book in the series and I'm already seeing the greatness that awaits me.

I still have many questions... But also I still have many books to read.

Trying my best to avoid spoilers now that Atlas is out

My #MagnificentMay #ReadAThon didn't go quite as planned.
I knew the first 2 days were gonna have no reading time.
But the week was supposed to be relaxed.
Work situation had other plans and even on Saturday I had to work instead of read.

So I only got 628 pages, but I added audio hours as I commuted back and forth.

Thanks @Andrew65 for hosting.

Andrew65 Well done on all the reading you fitted in and thanks for playing along 👏👏👏🙌🍾🥂🥳 1y

This is the second book in The Seven Sisters series by Lucinda Riley. It follows Ali as she deals with her father‘s death and other things which lead her to find out about her true heritage. It was a very touching story and I loved it.

This was the nice, easy comforting read that I needed. I enjoyed the 19th century setting in Norway and the plot around famous composers was fascinating. Like a few people have mentioned, I couldn‘t connect with Ally either. But I‘m looking forward to the next book! (Check out my out of control tbr read piles on the shelves! 🤦‍♀️ arghh! Must. Stop. Buying. Books!!)

Caroline2 I really don‘t like books piled on top of shelves. 😒 messy! But I‘ve run out of room now!! 😬 3y
LeeRHarry I‘m rereading the first one atm with the plan being to then continue the series 😊 3y
Caroline2 @LeeRHarry I liked the second book more than the first so I think it might be one of those series where each one gets better..! 3y

I have to admit I didn't enjoy as much as the first book in the series. Predictable in places and a little trite in others, but over all I did enjoy. Like the first, this book time hops back to the ancestors of main character, highlighting feminist issues of the time and retelling periods in history. The arts feature strongly, this one focusing on music.

I really liked this one. Initially I liked the family history story better than Ally‘s present-day story, but I thought Ally‘s story picked up as the book went on. Have to admit I really disliked one thing that happened at the start, but if it hadn‘t happened that way, the rest of the story may not have worked the way it did. Also disliked something that happened in the 19th century storyline, but that was explained later on.

Starting my next audiobook today. Bit strange to hear the narrator doing an accent when the previous narrator didn't. Makes sense that she does but gives a completely different vibe after the last book

My favourite book, in one of my favourite series, is available for a super bargain of 99p at the moment. Love the Seven Sisters series and this one made me 😭 and 😭. Simply loved (and hated 😂) this story.

This is book 2 in the series, and can‘t wait for November when book 5, The Moon Sister, is published.

EadieB @Andrew65 But not in the US! but my library has a copy! (edited) 6y
Andrew65 @EadieB That‘s a shame, but definitely worth getting rom the library. Love Lucinda Riley. 6y

Crazeedi @Andrew65 oh me too!!!! You know she has to be somewhere, I wonder if shes been in the stories and I havent picked up on it. I just know that the father was the little boy in paris that was an urchin, I cant remember the exact scene 6y
TrishB I‘ve managed to get one and two for 99p- but not started yet! 6y
Andrew65 @TrishB I envy you being at the start of this journey. Great bargains, even more so with the size of the books. 👍 6y
Andrew65 @Crazeedi I definitely agree about the urchin. I have a feeling once it is revealed we‘ll want to read the series from the beginning again! 6y

#ReadingResolutions Day 9: For #DNFBooks I only have one this year, thus far. I just couldn‘t get into the series much as I wanted to. When I found myself rolling my eyes heavenward more than a couple of times and arguing with the characters in my head, I thought I better give it a pass. Maybe if I had been younger, I would have loved it more? I just may be in a diff headspace at the moment. Still hoping I can get back to it in the future.

ephemeralwaltz Oooh no!! So sorry these weren't for you 🖤 6y

I plan on reading all the books in this series about six adopted sisters and their mysterious father. When he died, he left clues and coordinates for each daughter so they could explore where they came from and discover more about their births.

That being said, "The Storm Sister" was very predictable and there were absolutely no quotable quotes. The historical part of the book was my favorite to read. The current storyline left much to be desired

blurb

I hate when you know a character is pregnant and she can't even figure it out despite ALL the signs.

If it turns out I'm wrong, I'll let you know.

#JuneItsElectrifying Day 28: The Storm Sister seems perfect for #ItsElectrifying day. It‘s taking me awhile to get to the second book in this series because of #BOTMBookClub and #LitsyBuddyReads. We shall see how it goes. Paired with husband‘s olive oil and garlic pasta with scallops on the side.

Enjoyable read. It did throw up both clues and questions for some of the on-going mysteries. It hooks you up for the whole series :) I look forward to the next installment.

"And as my heart took flight and soared upwards with the beautiful music, I saw a glimpse of the future. 'Music is love in search of a voice.' I quoted Tolstoy under my breath. Now, I had to find my voice. And also the courage to speak out with it."
4.5/5 ⭐️
What a magical ride this book has been! After the first installment of the series, it doesn't disappoint. And with the cliffhanger ending I just read..I'm lucky I already own the third book!

I AM FANGIRLING SO HARD RIGHT NOW. I know this came out over a year ago but I just received a copy of it as a gift and I cannot even try to start explaining how excited I am to read this second book in the series (although my reading schedule is pretty full right now and I won't be able to get around to it until January or so..) Isn't it gorgeous??😍😍📚📚😱😱🤘🤘
