Customer Reviews

well done collection

As a sequel to Ms. Pianka's COVENTRY COURTSHIP this novel continues the stories of the Thackery sisters, Amethyst, Emerald, and Topaz. Each sister has her own novel and by far the last about Topaz is the best. Each sister fits a certain stereotype: meek, bluestocking, and rebel. Yet each one has her own unique voice and their interaction together and with their guardian, Udora is well developed. I did find the heroes lacking in depth and wished they had been more diverse. However, the sisters by themselves are enough to make this collection well worth the read.
