I love Terry Brooks novels! This was a very fun fantasy! I loved the world-building! I also love the author’s writing style!

Terry Brooks takes a unique perspective on his character development in utilizing the sea. I really liked how Terry tried something new that was different from any of his other books. Terry's whole series is showing strong female characters who aren't afraid to fight for their lives and for their family.

This one I DNF at 50%. It was really hard. It wasn’t my cup of tea but nothing that the author had done wrong.

I did not enjoy this writing style and could not finish this book. I can see how other people would enjoy it though. Thank you for the opportunity.

I'm not sure what I was expecting when I picked up this book, considering I did not care for the predecessor. Honestly, it felt like there was such a lack of plot it was hard to remain interested. Probably won't continue any further, which is disappointing since Terry Brooks is generally a great fantasy author.

I thought this was very good and I will have to add this to the shop shelves. Thank you for the chance for us to review.

There are some deep emotions in this story which was the highlight but the action was generally sparse and Char's YA cringy love story with Tryn I just couldn't help rolling my eyes while reading. The self-discovery and investigation of one's past just got old because we've already been through it with Auris. This book could have been improved with a different plot line for Char because she was an interesting character or it could have been made into a secondary plot line that moved Auris or the family forward.

I am putting this one down at 60% I don't know if it's me and I just can't get into it at this time. Or if it's because this is such a huge departure from the first two books. I will be picking this up in a few weeks to start again and see if I can get back into this series. I will update my review at that time.

I enjoyed this book after. Abut. But it took me so long to get myself into this one. I guess my view of what the book was going to be and what it actually was wete on 2 diffrent sides. And just getting myself into he world and ready for the story I was actually getting too time for me.

No don't get me wrong. I loved the story once I got into it. It had great characters and lots of moments that left me turning pages as fast as I could to see ehat would happen.

I almost wish I would have done this one on audio, because I think it would have helped me through that beging hurdle.

But overall this was a good book. And I really enjoyed it

I have to admit the cover is what drew me to this book, it's downright breathtaking and I had to read it once I saw it.

Since I hadn't read the first two books I had a little bit of catchup to do but this can absolutely be read as a stand-alone or a place to start the series.

This world is full of magic and wonder and even when our characters are facing the unknown of the unthinkable you never lose the hope that's woven through this marvelous tale.

Thank you to Random House Publishing Group-Ballantine and NetGalley for providing a copy of this E-Book, I have voluntarily read and reviewed it and all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Thank you to Netgally, the publishers, and Terry Brooks

When I requested this book I was unaware that it was apart of a series, one that requires you to read the previous books for this one to make sense. I am unable to read all the previous books along with this one before the publish date. Therefore, I will rate this a fair 3/5 stars and will adjust the rating and review when I am able to read all the books in the series along with this one.

I did not finish this book. I did not enjoy it as much as I thought I would. Thank you for the opportunity.

This is completely my fault. I didn’t realize it was part of a series when I requested it. I do not prefer to review books that are in the middle of a series. I am very sorry

A fantasy set with mermaids? Love it! The series flew by so quickly, and I wanted it to be so much longer.

Generally an average read. And has overall interesting storyline that I did keep me curious about where it’s going to go, but the payoff wasn’t worth it.

The individual parts seem to be disjointed. They have a general through line, but not much connecting them.

I don’t know if I liked Char much. To be fair I have not read the previous two books in this series and I have no previous connection or attachment to her. So you might like her better from that.

Overall, this feels more like a second or third draft of an opening act for a new series.

Terry Brooks and his Shannara series will forever and ever have my heart. It is for this reason that I dove headlong into Sister of Starlit Seas. Apparently this book is the third in a series, which I was not aware of when I began. With that said, the book reads fairly well as a standalone. (Though I now want to read the first two, to gather some context). Sister of Starlit Seas is somewhat of a coming-of-age story, yet stays beautifully true to Terry Brooks sense of adventure. While it's definitely not on the level of Shannara, it is a brilliant book that I kept returning to over and again. A definite recommend!

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC!

Unfortunately, this is a DNF for me. I wanted to love this series...but I couldn't get through Child of Light and I tried with this one after DNFing the first one but it just.....listen, I'm sure Terry Brooks is a wonderful author but he shouldn't try to write young girls. The receptiveness of the writing, the confused references to recent terms, the obsession with the love interest....just not for me.

Sister of Starlit Seas is the third book in this particular series and while it does read well on its own I always recommend reading previous books for all the backstory and character knowledge. This is very much a Little Mermaid Meets Pirates Adventure. If you love a good adventure upon the seas or you love reading about love or fantasy creatures this will be a great read for you!

Char decides to running away a month before she turns fifteen. She doesn't think that her family will see her for who she really is and who she just might be when she becomes a woman. They dote on her adopted younger sister and treat her like gold. She runs off to warmer climates and decides that she wants to be a part of a human pirate crew. It's three years later and her captain has been taken by slave traders. Her young heart says she's in love with the Captain and she must do everything within her to save him from such a dastardly fate. She dives right into an experience that she wasn't quite ready for but learns quite a bit along the way, about herself and just what she is made of. This was a lovely adventure that the author took me on and I couldn't put the book down. You know an author is great when you can't wait for their next read!

I am highly impressed by this book. I have never read any terry brooks books and am surprised how I've been able to avoid them thus far. I love the world of fae that was created. It felt familiar yet different at the same time. This was a book that once I started reading I couldn't out down. There was just so much happening in a good way. I enjoyed the struggle Char had with balancing the two worlds. The romance fell a little flat for me. Over all I really enjoyed this book and want to read other works by this author.
