  Skip This Book
  
  This is the last book of Three Sisters Island Trilogy
  
  Setting: Modern Times
  
  Maybe I am prejudiced since I read the first book and that Nell's story was my favorite-- therefore, I feel that my favorite character is Nell and I could not connect to Mia because in the back of my mind, I felt that the author favored Mia. I couldn't get into the story so I skipped a lot of the pages after hitting the half mark. And maybe even with my prejudices that if the story was really good that I would have rated this higher or have said I liked the story... at least, right?
  This is a witch series: Nell, Ripley, and Mia
  
  
  1st book- "Dance Upon the Air" Nell's story
  2nd book- "Heaven and Earth" Ripley's story
  3rd book- "Face the Fire" Mia's story

  Not the "big finish" it needed
  
  I love the series, I want to live in Mia's house! it's an enjoyable read, but I agree that the conclusion was a bit of a let down, and a little too neatly taken care of. I have to say I enjoyed the magick and the spells and the fact that they weren't wannabees trying to be witches, they actually were witches. Ms. Roberts is gifted with delightful prose. The first sex scenes were hot, but seemed a bit too violent and detached and frankly, a bit gratuitous, but hey, what do I know? I would love to have a girlfriend like Nell, but Ripley annoyed me and (I get that she is supposed to be abbrasive)says things in such a way, I don't believe an actual person would say it, My final thought is this : read the books, and make your own determination. As for me, I'd definitely read them again !

  My Favorite Nora Books By far!
  
  I bought all 3 books in the series and loved them. I will probably re-read them once I am finished the Garden series. I enjoyed this particular series from the very first page and that is not common for me. A MUST READ!!!

  The Sisters Trilogy
  
  All three of the books in the "Sisters" trilogy are strong, beautifully written and captivating; often I didn't sleep until finishing one or the other of them. I have continued to read Nora Roberts and have found some of her books equally beautiful in terms of reflective prose, enchanting plot lines and always the possibilities; the suspension of disbelief often leaves the reader feeling like she, too, could own a bookstore, run a nursery or many of the myriad dreams we all have not (yet?) realized.
  
  That said, I am currently reading one of the trilogies and about to put it down. The first time I came across the word "fisted" (as in "he fisted her hair in his hand) it was interesting. Now I am seeing it every four pages and I find it really distracting. Ms. Roberts is far too brilliant a writer to depend on wordplay alone; and when it becomes distracting, it is disconcerting as the characters then lose their individuality and become the same people over and over again.
  
  However, I will re-read the "Sisters" books again in a year or two; they are, in my own opinion, the highest and best product of Ms. Robert's considerable skill.

  Face the Fire (Three Sisters Island Trilogy)
  
  I love anyting Nora Roberts writes. This one was a little slower moving, but was still a great read. Can't wait to finish the final part of the trilogy.
