 Well worth reading June 27, 2002

I've just finished reading Heaven and Earth, and quite frankly I loved it. It is rare that you find such a strong wilful woman who isn't blond and beautiful and delicate. This is a woman ruled by her emotions, which is where her powers lay. The story picks up very well from the last book, and basically I love Ripley's character. The book is enchanting and a great read it contains one of Roberts's main talents of combining suspense and humour, which is actually quite rare in books. I was impressed with the way it stood alone (although I did read Dancing in the Air first). I think it's defiantly a gem and look forward to reading the next book (Facing the Fire) and I also look forward to seeing other strong minded, confident heroines in future books!

to fully understand all the characters in these set of three books, you must read the first in the trilogy, dance upon the air, where nora roberts introduces us to all the characters required, especially the three come to be known as the three sisters, sisters not through blood but through magic and passed through the generations of their families. by the time you get to the third book, face the fire, you will fully understand every characteristic of each person and what has happened previously through their individual stories but all linked together perfectly. each has to face their fears, which is done through meeting their soul mates and their understanding of the magic that has been bestowed on each of them and how they have to use their individual gift to each release the curse on the island. i found i could not stop reading after the first book and very quickly completed the full trilogy. you wont want it to end. nora needs to write more like this!
One of her best ever yet! January 31, 2002

In this second book of the Three Sisters Trilogy, Nora Roberts once again explores the interaction of love, magic, and personal challenge.
This time it is Ripley, the descendant of Earth, who must face her trials. She is very much afraid of using her power because of the tempation to repeat history and give over to the darker side. Her edginess and aggression is lightly balanced by MacAllister Brooke, a researcher of the occult. His calm and intellect are irressistable to the normally antisocial deputy. For those of you who like reading about Lietenant Eve Dallas, the star of the series Nora Roberts authors as J.D. Robb, Heaven and Earth is a must read. Ripley is very much like Eve and yet unique as well. The story, so full of magic, both that of love, and the more druidic variety is compelling and fun to read.
Loved it:) June 3, 2010
Lizzie (Newtownards Co Down)
The second book of the Three Sister's Island trilogy picks up neatly where the first book (Dance Upon the Air) finished. In this book however, the emphasis is upon the second sister, Ripley Todd, although Nell and all the other characters we met before are still there.
In this book the reasons for Ripley abandoning her gift and denying who and what she is, are explored in full. She becomes a much more rounded character, and despite her attempts to hide it, her softer more vulnerable side is allowed to shine. This is due in no small part to a certain MacAllister Booke, a paranormal researcher just arrived from the mainland.
This was a great second installment, containing the same mix of a touching romance combined with magic and mystery. I loved the way Ripley's character was developed and her interactions and developing relationship with Mac. Mixing this with a three hundred year old danger lurking in the background made for a great read.
If you've read the first book and loved it, then do not hesitate.

Part of the three sisters trilogy. A very good read. Nora Roberts is a very good storyteller. All three books hold your attention.
