Aye, well you won’t be missing me if yae take the job at Kinnaird. I’m a blow o’ wind down the valley and on hand to give you advice about the cats if you need it. And you’ll have tae visit Dennis, Guinness, and Button, or they’ll be missing you too.” Después de haber leído 4 libros de la saga, llegar al quinto que sucede en España, para mi era el broche de oro para terminar el año. Pero la verdad, es que este libro no me ha gustado y me ha costado terminarlo. A spellbinding story of love and loss, inspired by the mythology of the famous star constellation. Tiggy D'Apliese, in her mid-twenties, learns that her father - Pa Salt, an elusive billionaire who adopted his six daughters from around the globe - has died. After the death of her father - Pa Salt, an elusive billionaire who adopted his six daughters from around the globe - Tiggy D’Aplièse, trusting her instincts, moves to the remote wilds of Scotland. There she takes a job doing what she loves: caring for animals on the vast and isolated Kinnaird estate, employed by the enigmatic and troubled Laird, Charlie Kinnaird. The morning stars survived the calamities, as did the wolves, who are said to be "children of the moons." The wolves remember the tragedy behind the sisters' tale, and those who live among wolves call the morning stars the "grievous stars." Gods and adepti that heard the story of the moon sisters would "feel sentimental upon hearing such ancient memories." [2]

Are you hungry? I’ve made soup—about all I can manage safely until I’ve worked out the programs on the new ovens.” She gave Cal a grim smile. “The laird tells me you’re a vegan. Will carrot and coriander suffice?” But.... They are wonderful! And beautiful, and each entrances you in a totally different world. These sisters find themselves and their entwined destinies and life loves in locales all over the globe, and its incredible. I almost want to say the story of Ce Ce, the sister I was least drawn to, the Pearl Sister, was still probably my favorite. But, I also loved the third, the story of Star, you know what, I loved them all! When I began writing The Moon Sisters, I didn’t intend for it to be a book about this, at least not exactly. I wanted to write about one sister’s quest to find a will-o’-the-wisp light, which was her mother’s unfulfilled dream. Also called “foolish fires,” these lights are sometimes seen over wetlands and are thought to lead those who follow to treasure. Despite their promise, they are never captured and sometimes lead to injury and even death for adventurers. The metaphor of that fire—that some dreams and goals are impossible to reach, and that hope itself may not be innately good—eventually rooted its way into deeper meaning as the Moon sisters tried to come to terms with real-world dreams and hopes, and with each other, in their strange new world. I know that for me as a woman, I’ve worked so hard to get where I am at and then when I decided to stay home with my baby, it was a tough call. I felt like I would be giving up all that I worked for, but in the end I felt like this calling was more important than the cooperate ladder and I think this is something that Tiggy struggles with as well as Lucia in the historical part of the story which I think a lot of women readers will identify with on some level.

Riley draws magnetic and strong women…..this will delight her followers of the series but will also appeal to new readers’ That it’s over forty thousand acres of wilderness, and you’re looking for someone who knows about the indigenous animals who could inhabit it, wildcats in particular.” Therese is the co-founder of Writer Unboxed, a blog for writers about the craft and business of fiction.

The fifth book in the Seven Sisters series; The Moon Sister gives us Tiggy D’Aplièse’s story. Again, and like its predecessors this is a story that you will get lost in, because it is such a richly woven, and colorfully embellished tapestry of a tale. According to legend, the moon sisters are older than Morax, [2] [3] who himself is over 6,000 years old. [4] They were the sovereigns of the night sky who dwelled in the Lunar Palace and rode through the heavens in a silver carriage. Sovereignty was held by one sister at a time, switching places three times a month. [Note 1] The three sisters were all in love with the morning stars, and it is said that their love for the morning stars was "equal" to the affection between the sisters.

Tiggy D’Aplièse spends her days reveling in the raw beauty of the Scottish Highlands, where she works at a deer sanctuary. But when the sanctuary is forced to close, she decides to take a job as a wildlife consultant on the vast estate of the elusive and troubled Charlie Kinnaird. She has no idea that the move will not only irrevocably alter her future, but also bring her face-to-face with her past.

Of course,” I said, feeling slightly patronized, although I had to remember it was a doctor I was talking to—someone who dealt with death and the loved ones it left behind every day. But that said, I felt like this book had some issues. I wasn’t sure that I entirely invested in Charlie and Tiggy’s romance. I think they only had a couple of conversations throughout the novel and I didn’t think that was enough to validate Charlier’s declarations of love later in the story. The modern story felt a little choppy in a way that the others didn’t, and I think the romance could have been great had there been more tension and build up between Tiggy and Charlie. I am, although the wildcats alone wouldn’t really be a full-time job once they’re in situ. Is there anything else I could do?” So here is the premise. An enigmatic rich old coot named Pa Salt, adopts six daughters, each who has an incredible lineage with highly accomplished grandparents who leave traits of their mystical talents within each of the six girls. He finds these babies in crevices and impossible places, and seemingly has knowledge of each of their pasts - lord knows how he possibly could find and know about each of these baby girls, but he does. And he aptly names them, each, after a star in the Seven Sisters Constellation, and each of them have characteristics that relate to the star itself. Each adopted less than a year apart. Still with me? Heavy suspension of disbelief. Pa Salt writes six letters to his daughters, and creates a statue, each with coordinates related to their brith, and in some cases an actual physical object from where they are from, and then he mysteriously dies in an suspicious accident, leaving each of them bereft. They are scattered all over the world to begin with, but they come home together in this first installment, at least some of them do, to each begin a journey to discover themselves, their origins, their hidden talents, and the legacy of their amazing grandparents, and the books are written on dual timelines, from the point of view of the grandparents generation. Of course, by Book Two, there are actual sightings and experiences of Pa Salt, who appears not to be quite dead - and he seems to figure into each of their journeys to find their way home.

Ich glaube das war das erste Mal, dass ich die Geschichte in der Gegenwart besser fand, als die in der Vergangenheit. Das lag vor allem daran, dass mir Lucia doch echt unsympathisch war... Wohingegen Tiggy so sympathisch ist, dass es zu Beginn ehrlich gesagt sogar etwas langweilig war.
