FIRST IN THE GUARDIANS TRILOGY

#1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts presents a trilogy about three women and three men who join forces to solve an ancient mystery through the power of timeless love…

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 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....

Really enjoyed the Dwyer series but found this too convoluted and far fetched. Felt uncomfortable just reading interactions between characters. Sorry but very disappointing.

I enjoyed the story concept, the characters, and the light entertaining read.
I need to get the second in the series but was informed I have to wait, and can order it.

Eerily familiar, but very enjoyable. Love the themes of learning to trust and working together, to overcome 'evil'

Jera's Jamboree

Age old quest but feels fresh and new

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 September 2016

Verified Purchase

I knew I was going to love Stars of Fortune when my spine tingled reading the prologue. A perfect myth - three goddesses with gifts for the new queen and of course a balancing dark goddess (Nerezza) determined to bring the world to darkness, death and ruination.

Sometimes the first story in a trilogy can be slow as the foundations are laid for what's to come but Stars of Fortune moves at a fast pace. As soon as Sasha realises the place she must go she's on a plane and on the first evening meets Riley and Bran. On that same evening Nerezza makes herself known. From here it's a well-paced rollercoaster of the strangers coming together and Nerezza testing the waters before the big finale (or I should say one of the big finale's seeing as there are two more novels to come!).

As Sawyer, Annika and Doyle enter the story I loved trying to work out what skills and knowledge they would bring to the group. A couple I was wrong about but then they all hide something underneath that outward veneer - love the intrigue. Each person brings knowledge of a different aspect to the myth in the prologue, building up to capturing the star of fire.

Stars of Fortune isn't all about the quest. Despite Sasha appearing the weakest and not wanting to accept her dream walking skills she's the one who makes the group take a look at themselves and bind them closer together. Her personal journey of acceptance and learning skills from the others makes her one of my favourite characters in this trilogy so far. Her soul connection with Bran is magical and otherworldly as well as being grounded in the physical and emotional. Perfect.

Love, love, love the magic and the earth healing. There are more secrets to be revealed in the Bay of Sighs and I'm looking forward to the focus being on Annika and Sawyer as they continue to search for the star of water.

The quest may be the age old battle between the light and the dark but the characters, settings and even magical battles make this feel fresh and new.

FANTASTIC BOOK

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 January 2020

Verified Purchase

THIS BOOK IS A BRILLIANT STORY, PART OF A TRILOGY. I LOVED THEM ALL. YOU GET SUCKED IN TO THE BOOK. THE CHARACTORS ARE WELL THOUGHT OUT AND THEIR PARTS IN THE TRILOGY ARE BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN. I DIDNT WANT TO PUT THIS BOOK DOWN AS I WAS ENJOYING IT THAT MUCH AND I WAS SO ENGROSSED I WAS TURNING PAGE AFTER PAGE. I DO NOT WANT TO SAY TOO MUCH ABOUT THE STORY AS I DO NOT WANT TO SPOIL IT FOR YOU, BUT I WILL SAY THIS, YOU WILL ENJOY IT IF YOU LIKE STORIES ABOUT GOOD AND EVIL AND MYTHS AND LEGENDS.

Excellent book if a little short

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 December 2016

Verified Purchase

There are quite a few characters which gets a little confusing, but eventually makes sense. Only negative for me is that it was a little short and I just worry that greed has taken over, I hope not but am sure in years gone by that the three books would have been one novel. Despite that, the book is well written and compelling, I have already downloaded the next installment

Come on who could not love Nora Roberts just read Starts of Fortune, only put it down once because I had to. Got to know all the caricatures loving each one, it's a fabulous story can't wait to read the next two. I have them ready and waiting on my kindle so if you are reading this review you must get this book. I would definitely recommend that you reed this, Noras book just seem to get better just love her story lines.

Bought for my wife who is an avid reader - 3 books per week.
Nora Roberts has proved to be a real find - her style of writing suits my wife.
Easy to read, good descriptions, good storyline with humour sprinkled in en-route.
