Not my favorite. I love Tiggy, but the whole part in Scotland was way too long. Granada felt rushed and I did not like her leaving. And her love story was unnecessary, just like Star’s was. But still enjoyed reading it!

I enjoyed this book. It’s a good story and kept me wanting to know more. Now I have to go read the other sisters’ books.

The Seven Sisters series keeps getting better with every book! If you haven't already been reading this series - I would suggest reading them in order starting with The Seven Sisters. You could certainly still enjoy them by jumping in at any point - but I think you will get so much more reading them in order.

This series is about 6 sisters who were all adopted when they were babies and were each named after one of the stars in the Seven Sisters constellation. We come into their story as they are in their 20s/30s and are spread around the world living their own separate lives. Their adoptive father dies and they all come home to Switzerland - where he has left them each a letter, the coordinates to where he found them and a meaningful quote. The first 6 books of this series each focus on one of the sisters and exploring her history - alternating between that sister in the modern (2008) world and her ancestors - in the first four books we've explored Brazil, Norway, England, Thailand and Australia. Reading this series has been a wonderful journey of learning about women in different locations and time periods.

This story - The Moon Sister - is Tiggy's story. Tiggy is the second from the youngest and is very spiritual and into nature. I wasn't sure I would connect with her as much since I am not about nature - however, I never should have doubted. I was just as absorbed in this story as I have been all the others in this series. With Tiggy, we travel between Scotland and Spain - learning about Tiggy's grandmother Lucia, a famous flamenco dancer. Tiggy also faces some pivotal choices about her career and what she wants to do next with her life.

I am continually amazed by how well the author is weaving together all the stories - and the 7th book will answer some ongoing questions (including why a 7th sister wasn't adopted I hope!) There are moments where we see something from one sister's perspective, and then in a later book see it from another sister's perspective. Somehow Lucinda Riley achieves this without ever feeling repetitive but just adding more to the experience. And now that we are getting closer to the end of the series - I am starting to see some threads that have been around since the very first book start to stand out in a bigger way. I can't wait to see what's going to happen in Electra's story and then the finale!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the advance review copy in exchange for my honest review!
