I went into this hoping for answers and ended up frustrated with even more questions, which may have been its intent.

Not only do we not know who the missing sister's parents are, but we also don't get any answers about other story lines throughout the series. Dass hier auch dauerhaft nur versucht wird Spannung mit „…das erzähle ich später“ aufzubauen fand ich beim dritten Mal nur noch nervtötend. Shortly before the publication of The Missing Sister , Lucinda announced an eighth and final book in The Seven Sisters series, promising to answer the question at the heart of the story: Who is Pa Salt? Ich bin jedoch trotzdem sehr gespannt auf die Geschichte von Pa Salt und was seine Beweggründe waren. Her son Harry Whittaker will be writing the last book in the series (I'll link the article at the end of my review).The moment you realize that you can not do it justice with what you have, THAT is the moment to announce that there will be one more, NOT when the reader has already finished what you stated would be the last book. There is a lot about the history of Ireland and their struggle for independence from the British, which was interesting. Both my husband and I have been married before and we have seven children between us, meaning that they all have step-siblings and half-siblings – and our passion has always been to bring them up as one close family – and I hope that is one of the core themes of the Seven Sisters series that comes across – that your family isn’t limited by biology. The last sister’s past was also an interesting read, especially since i knew so little about Irish history. I was so excited for this book to come out and finally have the answers to all the mysteries throughout the series.

Also, each ‘faction’ in the book had varying degrees of information at a time – whether it was about the sapphire ring, Mary-Kate’s background or Merry’s ‘adoption’ – and I had to make sure that characters found out important plot points at the right times.All of the Sisters clues apart from one have been acted on and they have found out their individual stories mapped out in each book dedicated to each sister.

Her books have been translated into thirty-seven languages and continue to strike an emotional chord with cultures all around the world.

The last three years have seen the latest book as a Christmas present, a tradition I have come to enjoy. It doesn't matter Merry has two healthy children, a succesful business, inner peace now Bobby is no longer a threat and reconnected in only positive ways with her siblings.

It was also a miracle that the volunteers of the IRA, with Michael Collins at the helm, managed to engineer a truce when they were so outnumbered in terms of manpower and arms. But in evading them, she also uncovers truths from her past that change everything she believed about her family. The Irish had used pitchforks and home-made explosives and exploited their intimate knowledge of the land – in essence, guerilla warfare. My greatest struggle perhaps was navigating the truth and the lies in the historical texts and witness accounts, particularly when it came to the Civil War – there were, and still are, family rifts caused by the anti-Treaty and pro-Treaty divide.Again, it is a pity because the story in itself is so beautiful, charming, the characters are lovable, but they all speak in that melliflous tone of voice, repeating the same concept over the over. Very excited that some light has been shed and that there will be another book, depressed that I have to wait God knows how long to get the answers we’re all so desperate to get. And as it gives absolutely no closure, you need the next book, so then you might as well read all of them. Am asteptat volumul 6 destul de putin si apoi a urmat o lunga asteptare pentru volumul ce il consideram ultimul, aveam sa vedem, in cele din urma, cine este a saptea sora. After her death, her son, Harry Whittaker, completed the final book, Atlas: The Story of Pa Salt, which was posthumously released in May 2023.
