I’m sad to say that I didn’t enjoy this book nearly as much as the first in the series and there’s two main reasons for that. I want to know how this will all turn out in the end but after reading the "authors note" it seems I have to wait until book 7 comes out.

It felt too similar to the story in the first book and I was scared that this would become the general pattern in all stories of the 6 sisters.It really did become the background music to my own childhood, as he eulogized about the beauty of the country, especially the magnificent fjords. You go through a whole gamut of emotions in reading this story, it is so richly built, and vividly described that the characters all feel so very real to you as you are reading of their journeys, although set in very different times everything is weaved together so beautifully that it was just a real pleasure to read, three couples, three love stories, set in three very different times.

Also while reading I felt like the author has poured all her best emotions while penning this story.But with her life now turned upside down, Ally decides to leave the open seas and follow the trail that her father left her, leading to the icy beauty of Norway . There she finds out more about herself than she bargained for and with all the tragedy she has gone through the biggest surprise is within her. Ally is a likeable main protagonist - brave and pragmatic, refusing to wallow in self-pity, and always looking on the positive side of each situation.
