Review: Stars of Fortune (The Guardians Triology #1)

Stars of Fortune (The Guardians Trilogy, #1)Stars of Fortune by Nora Roberts
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Blurb (from Goodreads):
To celebrate the rise of their new queen, three goddesses of the moon created three stars, one of fire, one of ice, one of water. But then they fell from the sky, putting the fate of all worlds in danger. And now three women and three men join forces to pick up the pieces… 

Sasha Riggs is a reclusive artist, haunted by dreams and nightmares that she turns into extraordinary paintings. Her visions lead her to the Greek island of Corfu, where five others have been lured to seek the fire star. Sasha recognizes them, because she has drawn them: a magician, an archaeologist, a wanderer, a fighter, a loner. All on a quest. All with secrets. 

Sasha is the one who holds them together—the seer. And in the magician, Bran Killian, she sees a man of immense power and compassion. As Sasha struggles with her rare ability, Bran is there to support her, challenge her, and believe in her. 

 But Sasha and Bran are just two of the six. And they all must all work together as a team to find the fire star in a cradle of land beneath the sea. Over their every attempt at trust, unity, and love, a dark threat looms. And it seeks to corrupt everything that stands in its way of possessing the stars…

My thoughts:
This one was an OK read for me. I love Nora Roberts' mystery/crime writings but not so much the romance ones. This book leaned towards romance and some of the soppiness had me cringing a bit. That being said, the underlying storyline was good and I liked the mystic, magical aspects of it.

My recommendation:
This was a good book for an easy read, with a mystical twist but don't expect too much depth to the story or the characters.

Top Ten Tuesday (07/04): Top Characters You'd Like To Check In With

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish .  Check them out if you haven't already! Top Characters You'd Like to Check in With This week's TTT is about characters from series that have ended and you would like to see their life post the series. I'll add standalone books as well. I won't make the ten this week *sad face*. Here's my list and in no particular order: 1. Hermione Granger  from Harry Potter . I can just imagine Hermione doing great things (maybe like Emma Watson has been with 'he for she'). 2. Ella  from Ella Enchanted . I love Ella so much.  3. Maia  from The Goblin Emporer . A recently read book. I just loved Maia and hope his rule has continued successfully and that he's made many acquaintances he can truly call friends. 4. Hazel   from The Fault in Our Stars .  I nearly didn't put Hazel down just because I thought it felt mean. She would still be struggling with her canc...

Top Ten Tuesday (03/03): Top Ten Books You Would Classify As All Time Favourite Books

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish . It's fun to do and interesting to read what other bloggers have to say as well! Join in the fun! Top Ten Books You Would Classify as ALL TIME FAVOURITE BOOKS From the Past 5 Years 1. The Night Circus   by Erin Morgenstern. This is the most recent in this list. I loved how Erin Morgenstern wove the story around the characters and the circus. She also has a wonderful writing style that just makes you see, smell, hear and feel what she is writing, like you're right there. I wrote a review on this here . 2. Where She Went  by Gayle Forman. I really enjoyed If I Stay  and literally bought and read Where She Went  straight after I finished it. I wasn't expecting to love it as much as I did. This book is from Adam's perspective and he really does have a lot of sadness, doubt and anguish. Gayle Forman does a great job portraying Adam's feelings. Gut-wrenchingly beautiful, is al...

Top Ten Tuesday (24/03): Top Ten Books from my Childhood That I Would Like to Revisit

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created and hosted by The Broke and the Bookish . It's a fun way to make bookish lists and find out what others have on their lists as well! Top Ten Books from my Childhood That I Would Like to Revisit  It's late Monday night and while I probably would (and could) remember so many more, below is my list for this week. Unfortunately not 10 but do series count?  1. Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levin.  My favourite book. Ever. 2. Nancy Drew series by Carolyn Keene.  I was OBSESSED with Nancy Drew. I think I read pretty much every book up to certain point. I had nearly every single book too. 3. Matilda by Roald Dahl.  I felt such a strong affinity with Matilda, being the bookworm she is. A great character and a lovely children's book. 4. The BFG by Roald Dahl.  Another great children's book. You know what, I probably probably every Roald Dahl book should be listed... 5. Narnia...
