Rating: Summary: Face the Fire Review: I really enjoyed the book! My stepmother turned me on to Nora Roberts. I have always liked books about witches,vampires and thrillers. She thought I might like reading Nora Robert's books. She was so right! I read the first two in the series and went right out to buy this one. Little did I know that it wasn't released yet! I was on pins and needles until it came out! I wasn't disappointed! I like the way she brings all the characters together so that you can see how each charter goes on in each story. You just got to know what happens next! Great history building! I have read several of her other series and have enjoyed them all. Ms. Roberts builds a great story and keeps your attention. My husband doesn't care for it, because when I start a book I can't put it down!! I am useless until I finish it! I love books like that!
Rating: Summary: Mia so what Review: Face the Fire was the least enticing of the Three Sisters Island Trilogy. Mia's story was only hinted at in the first two books, but her story in Face the Fire was more frustrating than entertaining and at times redundant and annoyintg. If I were Sam I would have kicked her to the curb and left the island. No one has that much patience! I should have reread Heaven and Earth.
Rating: Summary: Buy this one at the used book store Review: I am sorry Ms. Roberts didn't do this book justice, it is very tiresome. I guess when you crank books out as fast as she does, and I've read them all and enjoyed the experience!!!!,you can't always be a winner. But, for the price of paperbacks, I would like my money back....at least, I'm thankful I didn't have to buy it in hard back. I'll still buy her books, I love her writing and look forward to the next one.
Rating: Summary: Satisfying end Review: I was first introduced to Nora Roberts by my girlfriend and it was Roberts' J.D. Robb-written In Death series that first got me reading her. Face the Fire and its previous two installments is the first time I've read her as Roberts. I have to say that I wasn't disappointed with any of the three books. Face the Fire is a satisfying conclusion to what has been an exciting and sexy read. I can't wait to read more of Robert's work.
Rating: Summary: It must be magic Review: Here we are again. Finally Mia's tale. The third and regretfully last installment of the sisters. Sam Logan is back and he's determined to win Mia's heart back. Robert's desciption of Sam automatically makes my think of Angel's David Boreanaz.I wish she'd make movies out of these stories or a miniseries. I absolutely loved it.
Rating: Summary: Say it isn't so Review: Normally I love to read Nora Roberts(J.D. Robb), but not this time.I loved the first two novels in the series. I thoroughly enjoyed the bantering between Mia and Ripley, and Nell was just too sweet for words. Face the Fire seems rushed to me. There's a whole lot of uninteresting pointless dialog. The characters personalities seem so mellow compaired to the other novels. It's like they've all had too much Paxil. Especially Ripley, who was my favorite character in the series. The ending left me feeling nothing. No sense of relief, excitement, or happily ever after. Overall, I was very disappointed in this one.
Rating: Summary: Darn, feeling let down. Review: I was eagerly awaiting Mia's story. I was completely caught up in this trilogy because the first two books were fantastic. But Face the Fire was over about 30 pages in, it was predictable and flat and I only kept turning the pages because I kept hoping it would get better. It didn't. It was rushed and the story just wasn't there. No amount of flashy magick can make up for a dull story. Maybe the next trilogy will be better. But I guess when you write trilogies it's the first two books that count anyway right? Why put forth the effort in the 3rd when you know everyone's going to buy it anyway..., that is, until it happens on the next trilogy.
Rating: Summary: Three Sister Island Trilogy Review: I have read all three, Three Sister Island Triogy. Iloved all of them, could notput the books down.
Rating: Summary: Mia's story Review: The conclusion to Nora Robert's Three Sisters trilogy fulfills the promise of the earlier books as far as being a fitting conclusion to the series, if not a brilliant romance in itself. Mia Devlin, the third witch in the Three Sisters coven, is the strongest witch on the island. She practiced witchcraft continuously when her friend and coven-mate Ripley (whose story is told in Heaven and Earth, the 2nd book) dropped it for fear of hurting others, and the third witch in the coven, Nell, only discovered her talents when she came to the island in Dance Upon the Air (the 1st book in the trilogy). She'll need her strength for the final confrontation with the ghostly enemy that haunts the witches of Three Sisters. She'll need her friends and their husbands. She'll need the strength of the man who broke her heart years ago, who she has never forgiven. The question is, will she be able to love again, or will there be a second tragic ending to the story of Three Sisters, echoing the tragedy of the past? This isn't the story of Sam Logan's romance with Mia; he comes back to Three Sisters Island intending to win her back and in the end his love is not in doubt. Rather, this is the story of Mia's coming to terms with her own heart, and learning whether she can love again in a world where promises can be broken and love can go wrong. It is well worth the reading.
Rating: Summary: Contrived-Not even embers Review: I absolutely loved the first of this trilogy. It had everything going for it. But by this book, well, where was the editor. I guess it started going downhill in the second book when instead of a real villian and real human emotions like fury and despair being the catalyst, Roberts went toward this undefined evil. It gets to the point in Face the Fire, where the book is basically a show-off for her knowledge of Wiccan speak. Zack Todd is now indistinguishable from some of her other heroes (Aidan in Jewels of the Sun comes to mind) and Ripley is also just a shadow of her former self-Booke has been reduced to a one-dimensional Ghost Buster. She keeps bring things out of left field just to make things work without ever having shown them before. The ending is muddy, rushed and not quite followable. I'm sure this book will sell, simply because it is the third-but I'm not going to be rushing out for the next trilogy.
