OrangeReviewStarThe third book in Riley's "Seven Sisters" series (after The Storm Sister) is the story of Star, the shyest and more dependable of the sisters. All seven had been adopted from the four corners of the world by a millionaire, who left them clues to the identity of their real families upon his death. As Star slowly breaks out of her shell and decides to find her family, she discovers a possible link to a strong and willful woman named Flora MacNichol who lived in Edwardian England a century before. Inspired by Flora's example, Star finally steps out of the shadows to find herself and her own destiny. Riley's engaging and mesmerizing story of self-discovery and love, while making the complex tale of the Seven Sisters sufficiently clear, can be perfectly read as a stand-alone.
VERDICT This book will appeal to readers of Edwardian novels and Jane Austen-style fiction. Fans of this series will undoubtedly be pleased with this latest installment in the "Seven Sisters" saga. [See Prepub Alert, 10/31/16.]
