Rating: Summary: The fun is in the details... Review: To those who aren't Nora Roberts fans, but are interested in picking up one of her books: this is a thoroughly entertaining book. It's got romance, intrigue, engaging characters, and an interesting plot. Be careful, though, because it's the first book of a trilogy, and you could easily get pulled into buying two more books. It might not be literature, it might not be art, but it sure is a lot of fun.Now on to the bulk of my review, which is aimed at those who are already Nora fans: in a way, you've read this before. The characters are mixes of earlier characters, and some are not even mixes: Dana Steele is rather a lot like Ripley Todd, for instance. You can pretty much guess what's going to happen both in this book and in the next two. For that reason, I'd really rather give it 4.5 stars instead of 5. In other words, it's not quite perfect. However, it's the same Nora Roberts we know and love. Just because you have a good idea of where you're going doesn't mean you can't enjoy the trip. What sets this book apart, and makes it so enjoyable, is its details. The plot is intriguing, and at times exciting. Even though it has parts to it that are reminiscent of earlier trilogies (especially the Three Sisters and the Irish trilogies), it has fresh and interesting twists to it. The characters are as loveable as always, and their details set them apart from previous characters: Dana's books (she's a reference librarian, which I love), for example, and Flynn's dog. And there are a few scenes that I thought topped anything NR's written before. In short, read it. It's good. :-)
Rating: Summary: An Excellent New Trilogy Review: I bought this via amazon.com as its only available in England from January and I could'nt wait that long. I received my copy on Monday 3rd and I finished it The Early Hours of Wednesday Morning 5th Nov. This is a really good story, Strong Character and a crazy dog that you have to smile at. I cant wait now for book two.
Rating: Summary: always something new from Nora Roberts Review: I picked this up and could not put it down. Wonderful charactors and fun dialog, along with a great story. I never get bored when reading a Nora Roberts Book. It amazes me how she can pull you into a story. A must read.
Rating: Summary: Engrossing Read Review: Nora Roberts is one of the best storytellers out there and Key of Light is another fantastic offering from her. I do wonder though if no one really bothers to edit her anymore. There were some fantastically awkward segues with her dialogue that another pair of eyes could have easily fixed. But, as usual hers was a fun and fast read.
Rating: Summary: Another excellent read! Review: There is no writer that does it better than Nora Roberts. I read this book in one day and can't wait for the next in the series to come out. This story grabs you from the beginning. I laughed, I cried. Wonderful!
Rating: Summary: Key #1 Review Review: N Roberts is in her element with this book weaving storylines and interesting characters. Slow to start but once all the players appear, you want to keep reading to see them develop. Not for those who do not like mystical themes. Looking forward to key #2.
Rating: Summary: Fantastic new series. Review: I've been waiting to read this series for a long time and as always Nora does not disappoint. Three single women Mallory,Dana and last but not least Zoe. The girls been chosen to find three keys to free three women from a sleeping curse. Mallory is the first one chosen to find the key of light. She works in an art museum and knows all about the painting that binds all three girls. Flynn Hennesy, Dana's brother falls big time for Mallory and all become involved in the search to find out all about Rowena and Pitt. I became very interested in the two other fellows Jonah Blackwood and Brad Vane who are friends of Flynn and bring welcome humor and fire to this series. I'm looking forward to reading the next two books in the series and highly recommend this series even if you are not Nora fans. I love the book Nora and keep on writing. I even love Moe, Flynn's crazy dog.
Rating: Summary: Great Book! Review: Key of Light reaches its dazzling conclusion in the same manner as Roberts's other books: with the promise of more to come. A wonderful read! Fans of Christine Feehan and Sherry A. Mauro will not be dissapointed by this writer.
Rating: Summary: Another Wonderful Winner! Review: I have read EVERY book Nora Roberts has ever written and wait anxiously for each new one to "hit the stands". I was at the store the first day this book came out and read it cover to cover that very day. I truly enjoyed it from start to finish. The ending was of course evident, since this is a trilogy, but it doesn't detract from the story at all. Malory has a life plan, which starts to change drastically when she calls her boss's new wife a bimbo and spills a latte on her suit. Fortunately the $25,000 she gets for trying to find the key will hold her over for a while since she inevitably loses her job. As Malory sticks to her commitment to find her key she experiences more changes in her life in the way of Dana's brother Flynn. Is someone playing with her mind or is how she feels about him real. Although she hardly knows Zoe and Dana, she feels connected to them. Their methods for finding clues may be obscure, but then how much detail do we really need to make the story fun. The farther into the puzzle of finding her key, the more Malory sees how things could be. She makes some very hard choices, but nothing about the way Robert's writes the story can be called ordinary or predictable. The future pairing of Brad and Zoe and Jordan and Dana is fun to anticipate. The sparks are already flying. We know that Zoe and Dana will get their turns at finding a key and the prelude in this first book about what lies ahead for them makes you want November to be here today. Since the story line is set, and the preliminaries out of the way, the next two can only get better. Better than a great book, that's something!
Rating: Summary: She's done it again! Review: Nora Roberts has again created a story that grabs you from the beginning and doesn't let go. I finished this book in less than a day and am already looking forward to the second part. A must read for anyone.
