My Review:
there! So when I received her new book ‘Stars of Fortune’ I was super excited
and couldn’t wait to start reading.
artist who lives most of her life in solitude. For a very long time Sasha had
been haunted by dreams, about six different people looking for ‘Stars’. As an
artist Sasha has been making paintings of these dreams to clear her mind. But
Sasha knows there is more about these dreams than she wants to admit, and after
her dreams leave her feeling more and more like she should be somewhere else,
she decides to visit the place of her dreams. Soon Sasha travels to the Greek
Island of Corfu. And before she knows it, Sasha meets the people she has been
painting about for a long time. But they aren’t normal people. A seer, a magician,
an archaeologist, a wanderer, a fighter and a loner all on a quest. Soon
Sasha finds out they are all searching for the same thing, and to find it, they

from the moment I read the book description. Especially since a big part of
this book takes place in Corfu, a place I went on holiday a view years ago (see
banner pic.). During that holiday, I completely fell in love with that island
and the people living there. So reading about this island really brought back
memories. The other thing that made me immediately interested, was the way this
book was written by Nora Roberts. I love her books and the way she so easily
pulls you into her stories.
as the other books by Nora Roberts. The reading is easy to follow and it
definitely makes you keep on reading. I loved the setting and the way this book
involves mythology. But I did have some troubles with the main characters. I
don’t know why but somehow I just couldn’t really connect with any of the
characters. Honestly… I have no idea why. The main character Sasha wasn’t very
strong in the beginning, but slowly grew into a stronger person. Her love
interest Bran Killian was kind and mysterious. And the other four main
characters were all also very interesting people. But somehow, although I liked
the book, it didn’t wow me because I just didn’t really like the characters.
keep me interested in this book. There is a lot of fantasy/ paranormal stuff
going on and it definitely kept me interested and wanting to read more.

About the Author:
began writing when a blizzard in February 1979 kept her in her hilltop home
with a three and six year old for nearly a week of canceled kindergarten and
dwindling chocolate supplies.
During the now-famous blizzard, she pulled out a pencil and notebook and began
to write a story for her own entertainment. From the first page, she knew it
was what she was meant to do.
Nora Roberts is now the number one New York Times bestseller of more than
200 novels. With over 450 million copies of her books in print, she is
indisputably one of the most celebrated and popular writers in the world. She
has achieved numerous top five bestsellers in the UK, including recent number
ones for ‘The Witness’ and ‘The Perfect Hope’ and is a Sunday Times hardback
bestseller writing as both Nora Roberts and J.D. Robb.
