The Guardians Trilogy by Nora Roberts

I finished reading this trilogy yesterday and I'm very happy that I can say I enjoyed it very much!  It was a fantasy story set on three islands: Capri, Corfu and Ireland. Six main characters, all unique and with special powers, go on a quest to get three stars, defeat a mad goddess and safe the world. It was exactly as unrealictic and predictable as it sounds - and still, I had great fun reading it. My favourite was the second book, Bay of Sighs. Not only I really liked Annika - she was so sweet and charming, a real pleasure to read about - but also the story was exciting and emotional and I simply couldn't stop reading! The least interesting for me was the last book, Island of Glass - I struggled a bit at the end, but I managed to finish it. I didn't see the point of many of the scenes and the ending was too fairytale-like for me.

8 - a trilogy

I am very happy with this week's challenge - a trilogy! I had no problem with choosing the right one. I've been waiting for months to find some energy to start reading: The Guardians Trilogy by Nora Roberts. The three books in the series are: Stars of Fortune,  Bay of Sighs and Island of Glass. I'm quite nervous. I usually like Nora Roberts' trilogies very much, but a few of them were quite awful. The last I read, The Cousins O'Dwyer Trilogy, was simply horrible, I could hardly finish it. I think that was the main reason why it took me so long to start reading this one - I was afraid I would hate it. I really hope I'm going to love it! Keep your fingers crossed for me!
