Didn't enjoy this as much as the others in the series. It took too long to get to where it was going and a little frustrated by the main character. Saying all that it has me hooked for book 8.

I'm so glad that I already own Atlas, and can start to read it right after I finish this - very short - review.
I did not like Merry McDougal, she just rubbed me the wrong way from the get-go. So for a long while I didn't read more than 10 pages a week. But as the story took form and my brain figured out what was literally only revealed on the last few pages my interests picked up. I could see where this was going and I was hoping for more information on the big mystery.
I still feel half of adult Merry's story could have been cut and we still would have had a great book. Nuala and little Merry were such brave women, I felt that it didn't compare to the Merry we get to see as an adult, and her unwillingness to talk about anything just drove me nuts.
At the end of each sister's book I felt I knew that sister and why she became the woman she was. With the missing sisters, I just didn't find that closure.
But that's enough rambling from me, I need to go start Atlas now.

This is the 7th book of the seven sisters series, and they do need to be read in order. This book follows the same format as the others with dual timelines concentrating on Mary, known as Merry, hiding from her past. She has a son Jack and an addoptive daughter Mary-Kate known as MK, and they recently lost their husband / dad. The other sisters follow Merry around the world, starting in New Zealand, and ending in Ireland. I thought the sisters were a bit clumsy in their approach, which led me not to like Merry much initially in comparison to the six sisters I already love. Merry owns a seven pointed ring that she gives to MK on her 21st birthday and it is this ring the sisters are following to try to find their missing sister. The Irish history is explored via Nuala, who is related to Merry. Not all of Merrys past or indeed involvement with the other 6 sisters are revealed, and I was left wanting to know the answers to the questions posed. I can only hope that this is revealed and all the loose ends are solved in Pa Salts' book. There is no getting away that she is a fantastic author, although I was not as gripped as I have been with her other books. It was too much of a cliffhanger for me, but beautifully written historical fiction at its finest.
