Unadorned said: The Gifted Gabaldon Sisters is a unique story, woven together with the threads of four different voices. I really enjoyed the way the author, Lorraine Lopez, told the story, alternating from the life, experiences and thoughts of one sister to another. The reader is hopscotched through time in a sweeping, realistic tale. The characters were rich and believable, as were the poor choices they often made stemming from a difficult upbringing.
This book kept my attention throughout. I was continually looking forward to the sisters' reactions upon discovering the true identity of Fermina. Unfortunately, when the sisters-who throughout the book were always turbocharged with emotion-discovered the truth, there was very little reaction. The ending lacked depth and emotion, it was a very deflated ending for such a complicated story. This is why I am giving 3 stars rather than 4. It was very nearly a 4 star story, the ending just needed a little more oomph. Overall The Gifted Gabaldon Sisters was a very good book, and I recommend it. |
