The Lost Sister: An unforgettable and heartbreaking historical timeslip novel

Product Information

hi, my name is caitlin. i have an entire shelf just to keep my candle collection, i've dyed my hair the same color blue as the cover before, and this book almost put me to sleep. In the present day, Harriet is downsizing after her husband passed away. She discovers a trunk from her grandmother in the attic. It was her travelling trunk from her ship days. Inside is a picture of her with two other sisters. Yet Harriet only remembers her talking about having one sister. With the help of her friend Shelia, she discovers her family ancestry, which throws up lots of mystery and secrets! Oh, I shall, daughter, much as I hope you will realize how much better it would be if you were to be running it for your own family." The Lost Sisters will contain spoilers for events that take place in The Cruel Prince, and also won’t make much sense if you haven’t read that book first. This was such an interesting book to read, not only because I have a keen interest in RMS Titanic but it is also a dual-timeline book which I always enjoy.

Jude is annoying (I did not care for Feyre at all, and while she is not Feyre levels of nightmare material, she does belong to the same Vaguely Badass With Very Few Other Traits character family).that I like him better than I've ever liked anyone and that of all the things he's ever done to me, making me like him so much is by far the most I’m aware I’m the odd one out here, but I do not care for Jude & Cardan’s relationship whatsoever. They’re both incredibly complex characters with undeniable chemistry, but I just personally could not care less about a romance between them. I feel I’d view the book identically if they were archenemies, friends, or just strict allies. Personally, it’s just not what draws me in to The Folk of the Air.

Fairy tales are full of girls who wait, who endure, who suffer. Good girls. Obedient girls. Girls who crush nettles until their hands bleed. Girls who haul water for witches. Girls who wander through deserts or sleep in ashes or make homes for transformed brothers in the woods. Girls without hands, without eyes, without the power of speech, without any power at all. But then a prince rides up and sees the girl and finds her beautiful. Beautiful, not despite her suffering, but because of it.” I read this after finishing the trilogy. I really disliked Taryn and did not think I would like her at the end of this novella.

Customer reviews

The way Jude and Cardan dance around each other actually made my heart race - I don't think I've ever been this invested in a relationship before. Simply magical.

That’s what Taryn keeps telling herself this is all about: love. But that, my friends, is a blatant lie. She simply wants to matter, to have others’ attention, to be adored. She’s just like her twin sister, craving power of her own kind; their only difference is that, where Jude does not hide who and how she is, taking pride in her nature, Taryn wears a mask that fools all, even her own self.Cardan y Jude como pareja: Me ganaron. Los shippeo. En el primer libro pensé que jamás podría llegar a shippearlos, pero con este ME CONVENCIERON. Lo que me frustra es que en verdad les cuesta ser sinceros y aceptar sus sentimientos, PERO SEÑORES, AHÍ HAY AMOR VERDADERO. the romance. i swear i'm sounding like a broken record to even my own ears, but WHAT ROMANCE?! this is not what i was promised. it's so random. every single time something happened i'd go, "oh, that came out of NOWHERE." why? because they have no chemistry. didn't feel it in the first book, didn't feel it here. This book is way more than just a book about the Titanic, which is what first drew me to this read. It was a part of the story, but two other ships from the White Star Line as well as the themes of independence, communication, and family play an important role in the plot! Madoc: I could not tear my gaze away from this messed up father-daughter relationship. He, the monster who took everything from Jude, also gave her a new life, pushed her to her fullest potential ( even while underestimating her), encouraged her fire ( even while beating her down), was all is she had. And I lived for how thoroughly this facet of this dark tapestry, this theme of moving past and beyond the power of the person who raised you, burns throughout the book.
