The Seven Sisters

So, this was my second attempt at reading this book. I couldn't get into it the first time round. I suppose it just wasn't the right time when I tried to read it the first time.

I decided to give it another go after managing to get an audiobook of it (thanks, Tracy Fenton!) and this time I really ended up enjoying it!

I loved how we travelled from Geneva to Rio to Paris. I thought the descriptions of these places were beautifully done!

I loved reading about Maia's and Izabela's stories, although the two time periods couldn't have been more different. I found myself really feeling sorry for poor Izabela. I mean I can understand her father wanting to have a good life, but to use his daughter to further his social standing was just sad to me (even though he did love his daughter).

I loved this book and look forward to reading the rest of the books in the series!
