3 romances rolled into one. I liked that they happened simultaneously and weren't separated into 3 books.

Same appeal as many of Roberts's trilogies in a standalone. Multiple relationships of the familial, platonic, and romantic variety; centered around a bit of mystery and a sprinkle of magic/myth. Fun read on my vacation.

Nobody was likable and they were all too terrible at relationships.

This is a typical Nora Roberts book but with a slight twist. Nora Roberts likes to write trilogies but in Three Fates, she attempts to put the stories of all 3 couples into an interwoven story which I feel short changes each couple. It is the story of siblings Malachi, Rebecca and Gideon Sullivan whose family heirloom ( a silver statue) is stolen. They find out it is part of a trio of statues that over the years have been separated and they are determined to bring them together again.
I found that I liked Malachi and Tia's story line the best and would love a full novel devoted to their adventure. Rebecca and Jack's story line felt rushed and I felt that not enough time and/or pages were devoted to developing their relationship. It was an interesting way to tell this story but it sacrificed the character development and relationship development that I usually find in Nora Roberts books.

You have to know what you’re getting into. She’s a great storyteller, but some of the male-female interactions (especially around intimacy) are dated. Be prepared to take that in stride and focus on the characters and the great twists and turns of the plot. Lots of fun, outside of the “oh, dear” moments.

I actually think that Three Fates is one of Nora Roberts' weaker books. It's a book that should have been three - as it is, the personal stories feel intensely rushed, to get to completion on the same time as the core story of the book.

normally I love Nora Roberts but for me Three Fates was too slow paced for me and I'm not sure why but I couldn't connect with the book the way I have other books. I did enjoy the ending though and will continue to read other books from Nora.

Intrigue, murder, fate, romance, mythology and sex all in one package. I really enjoy her books. The way they draw you into the story
It isn't too slow or too fast. You get the story from many perspectives but you don't get lost. That is a hard balance but Nora gets it right

You know, I am not that into pop fiction like this. The story line was ok but... there was to much sex (it wasn't that great either)that wasn't necessary for plot advancement. Now I can say I read a Nora Roberts book and wasn't thrilled with it. Not bad if you like a quick mindless read. I read it during the silent reading time in class. Needless to say, I didn't have to think much when I picked it up after a weekend off work.
