jodelia 's review for:
The Seven Sisters
by Lucinda Riley
So I'm looking forward to reading the next installment in the series, but it took a long time for me to get completely pulled into the story of "The Seven Sisters" by Lucinda Riley. I'm so glad that I stuck with it. At about 76% through the story - around Chapter 41 - the storyline turned and got tense and suspenseful. The pages began to fly by. All the Dominos of storyline that had been carefully set up, suddenly tipped forward, connected to each other, and raced to a satisfying ending.
What initially prevented me from falling in love with the story was that the dialogue seemed flat and predictable but -- what kept me intrigued was the cast of characters, both fictional and historic. And what also kept me interested in reading was the author's representations of Lake Geneva-Switzerland, Rio de Janeiro-Brazil, and Paris-France. She brought these beautiful settings to life on the page.
It was also a pleasure learning about the building of the Christ the Redeemer statue that towers over the Rio de Janeiro coastline.
I listened to the audiobook version as well as reading the print version. The audiobook narrator, Emily Lucienne, did a fantastic job reading and handling dialog in both French and Portuguese.
