Book Review: The Storm Sister by Lucinda Riley

The Storm Sister

The Seven Sisters Series #2

Summary

Ally D’Aplièse is about to compete in one of the world’s most perilous yacht races, when she hears the news of her adoptive father’s sudden, mysterious death. Rushing back to meet her five sisters at their family home, she discovers that her father – an elusive billionaire affectionately known to his daughters as Pa Salt – has left each of them a tantalising clue to their true heritage.

Ally has also recently embarked on a deeply passionate love affair that will change her destiny forever. But with her life now turned upside down, Ally decides to leave the open seas and follow the trail that her father left her, which leads her to the icy beauty of Norway…

There, Ally begins to discover her roots – and how her story is inextricably bound to that of a young unknown singer, Anna Landvik, who lived there over 100 years before, and sang in the first performance of Grieg’s iconic music set to Ibsen’s play ‘Peer Gynt’. As Ally learns more about Anna, she also begins to question who her father, Pa Salt, really was. And why is the seventh sister missing?

Following the bestselling The Seven Sisters, The Storm Sister is the second book in Lucinda Riley’s spellbinding series based loosely on the mythology surrounding the famous star constellation. – Goodreads

My Thoughts

As with The Seven Sisters, The Storm Sister was about following the clues that were left by Ally’s father, to lead her to find her biological father. This book, though with almost the same premise as book 1, was slightly different in it’s telling. I enjoyed the storyline but didn’t find it unputdownable as The Seven Sisters was for me.

I found the romance in this book slightly irritating but that didn’t take anything away from the enjoyment of reading about the family and the history of the time.
