I never put spoilers in my reviews.Nora Roberts is a consummate storyteller. When I get one of her books I drop everything and simply dive right in. The water is always fine.This one has fantasy, romance, mystery and derring-do all swirled into a modern day tale with ancient elements.One thing I like about Ms. Roberts' books is that even when a book is part if a trilogy or series, the story doesn't just stop and wait for the next book; it has a conclusion.Read, enjoy and wait impatiently with me for #2.
*****SPOILERS***PLEASE DON'T READ AHEAD IF YOU DON'T WANT SPOILERS, I'M NOT HOLDING BACK*****I couldn't decide if I wanted to give this book 3 or 4 stars. I want to say 4 because I am a longtime fan of Nora Roberts and I was really excited for this book. I think I'm going to end up giving it a 3 though because it just didn't live up. NR's last few books have been incredibly disappointing but, when I read the excerpt of this one, I really thought she'd gotten some of her magic back. She didn't write in those weird, short, choppy sentences she seems to love these days, the characters were a delight, the premise was interesting, and, once again, a great setting. I don't mind, at all, her habit of writing 3 men, 3 women, 3 books. It's just something she prefers and I kind of like it. The predictability of the ending and the events don't bother me one bit. I know that the good guys are always going to win and three couples are going to fall in love. I did speak too soon, however, about the magic coming back because most of the things I was looking forward to were the things that killed it.Setting: The setting was absolutely gorgeous, but, in the past, Nora has described a setting so beautifully with about a 1/4 of the words she used here. I get it, Villa is beautiful and Greece is beautiful and food is delicious. Say it and move on. I really didn't want sooo much of it. She spent more time developing the setting than she did the characters and I had to skim most of it. Now, in the next 2 books, there are going to be 2 new settings and we're going to have to endure brand new descriptions of them all over again. You're writing a book, Nora, not a travel brochure.Language: NR characters usually have beautiful and poetic language, especially her Irish characters. Throughout this whole novel, however, the thought that "nobody ever even talks like this", kept circling my mind. It was just too much. Every sentence was something along the lines of "to heart, to mind, to love, we will conquer all", "meals and family and love." I'm not expecting 100% realism when I pick up an NR book, but I'd like it to be A LITTLE realistic. I don't need, "Hey, dude, look at the villa. Awesome!" But, I don't want them to speak like poets ALL the time.Characters: I pick up an NR book for the relationships. Let's be real, the setting and the whatever-storyline are great, but the relationships are my favorite part of these books. I looked and looked and just couldn't find it. Nobody connected at all for me or for each other. In her Circle trilogy, I was instantly and madly in love with the characters and, at their losses, I was heartbroken and, at their triumphs, I was joyful. I can honestly say that I don't care what happens to any of these characters. They also didn’t click very well with each other. There were no little things to make me think that these people truly care about each other. When Doyle takes that death blow for Riley in the end, I couldn’t imagine it was because he cared about her at all, only that he knows he can’t die and she can.Riley: She was just one of Nora's previous characters supercharged. It felt like she was trying to mash many of her characters into one, the archaeologist, the fighter, the supernatural, the know-it-all. She was all these and more, it felt like she was trying way too hard. No one person could possibly have all those personalities smashed into one.Sawyer: Such an interesting character and the one thing we know about him above all else is that he's got the hots for Annika. So many more things I would have liked to learn about him.Annika: Different. Different personality and different supernatural creature than usual. Very sweet and innocent and I wish she just wasn't so innocent though. The sweetness was lovely but she was too trusting for my liking. Like even in her world, way under the sea, there must be some untrustworthy mer-people. Going to a new world and making friends with others of a completely different species, she has to have some sort of caution otherwise she's just an idiot. I like that it was something new but dial it back. That random comment about her only having 3 months until she loses her legs after she tells someone what she is? I don't know if I understood that right but it just seems to be a problem for the sake of having a problem and really doesn't make any sense at all.Doyle: No time at all was spent on him. By the time we found out his secret and his story, I didn't have any sort of emotional connection to him and couldn't find it in me to care.Sasha: I tried so hard to like her but I just couldn't. Such a bore and no personality whatsoever. Hypocritical and did nothing throughout the entire book that was her own will. She was led by her "power" to all the answers and didn't really put forth any effort to actually get to the answers herself. She kept saying how much she wants to get stronger and stop being the weak link in the circle and, every time something happens, she proves that she still is the weak link. I also really wish she had done something more in the “final fight†than hug Bran to give him her love while he defeated Nerezza pretty much on his own. She was also a hypocrite in the biggest way. She’s spent her entire life in isolation, she was even described as a “recluse†in the book flaps, but, when someone wants to do something by themselves, she gets all pissy about them not being a “family.†There was a line about something that Doyle was doing, setting that target up “alone, Sasha thought, resentfully". You’ve known these people for a week and Doyle for all of 2 days… relax. She also stepped over her own words a lot. I remember her speaking to Riley about everybody having secrets and them revealing them in their own time, yet every time she found out someone’s secret, she got angry at them. Bran didn’t reveal his secret within the first minute of knowing her. Big deal.Bran: A typical Irish, magick, Nora character. Nothing new about him in abilities or personality. At all.Romance: Boring. It all happened very quickly and there was none of the usual feeling I get when I read an NR romance. The s*x scenes were too long and words were basically copied and pasted from some other NR books. Nothing new there. When I read some of Nora’s books from 20 years ago and I come across a female character who is a virgin, it’s not weird but, in this day and age, when she revealed she was a virgin at 28, all I could do was roll my eyes and think “why does nobody else think this is weird?†Maybe I’m being judgmental but it just added an extra layer of my un-believability of Sasha. Bran basically carried Sasha. She hid behind him at every opportunity and the entire romance just wasn’t a very fun read at all.Villain: Nerezza is nowhere near the villain that I’ve read in some of Nora’s other books. The Circle trilogy has one of my favorite villains of all time in Lilith and comparing this one to that, I can definitely see that they were supposed to be similar but Lilith was just better in every way. Nora has gotten into this habit of telling and not showing so, every time Nerezza was described as “evilâ€, it was like NR was begging us to believe it. Nerezza had madness and evil in her eyes. Lilith murdered an entire family so she could turn a little boy into a vampire to have as a son and lover. Nerezza says that love is for mortals. Lilith takes one of the group’s good friends and turns him into a vampire to use as bait. There’s just no comparison.Writing: Everything was so repetitive. The line "Sasha contemplated what to make for dinner" was probably in there at least once every other chapter. Food was mentioned in every single chapter. Sandwiches, eggs, pasta. "I'll get a bottle of wine" or "opened a bottle of wine" was also in there every minute or so. Sasha painted, Sasha packed her sketch book and pencils, Sasha grabbed her tote with her sketch book and pencils, Sasha grabbed her bag with her sketch book and pencils, Sasha itched to sketch this scene, Sasha wanted to remember this scene so she could paint it later, Sasha sat down to sketch.I can beg and hope and pray that the next two are going to be written by 20 years ago Nora, but they probably won’t be. I love her and she will always be my favorite author (20 years ago Nora, that is), but I’m starting to get real sick and tired of shelling out so much money for recycled storylines and characters. Why should I put the effort in if she’s not going to?
As a loyal Nora Roberts fan, one who pre-orders simply because it's Nora, I was VERY surprised and disappointed that this book was such an obvious REPLAY of previous trilogy.As others have stated, NO character builds, NO back stories, NO buildup to love.VERY non-Nora
I really want to like this book but I just don't. Dare I say it's deathly boring in parts and strangely repetitive in others -- for example, we get it, Sasha was weak but now she's not. The plot and characters feel like a hodgepodge of all the other plots/ characters in previous novels. I was unamused by the character development of Riley. Really?! All I'll say is that a basic tenet of these books is that the cards are on the table from the beginning. It's difficult to suspend belief when information just comes out of nowhere in the middle of the book. I did like Annika but am just not sure I'm going to be able to get there when all is revealed. Sigh, I still haven't finished the book but I will just as I'll buy book two of the trilogy because I am at heart a Nora fan looking for some of the magic from the Irish trilogy.
Go back and read the trilogy Three Sisters Island. It's better and it's the same exact story, along with about 3 other trilogies she has done prior. Norah is using the same formula over and over - just shifting the locale and changing the names. For example: Ridley and Riley? Same character. I am convinced she has a software program that just lets her make a few changes and spits out a "new" book.Too much locale description. Another conclusion I have come to is she is writing off her vacations as "research" and using the wordy location descriptions to prove it to the IRS.I used to be a fan - but she's just laughing at us now.
No, no, no. So disappointing. I have read all her titles as Nora Roberts and JD Robb, pre-ordering the new ones for the past decade and this is the first I had to force myself to finish.She seems to be trying to appeal to the demographic who likes werewolves and shape shifters and violent battles with evil forces. Lots of cultural references and quotes that only they will understand. It was not like the gentle sprinkle of Irish Magik in the Cousins O'Dwyer trilogy or the Circle trilogy but lots of totally paranormal stuff I found hard to relate to. In the meantime she left out the delicious building of the relationship between the characters and nuances of of the love story as well as the beautiful setting that we can usually sink into. It was almost like a graphic novel without the graphics.She has introduced six brilliant new characters, each with his own backstory and secret powers who were going on a quest. But it covered too much in too few pages, making it seem shallow. I almost wondered if someone else didn't write a lot of it. There was some of her wonderful sharp dialogue but far too much battle planning and we had to suffer through a blow by blow description of bloody battle scenes. This is not what I buy a Nora Roberts book for.
