Dance Upon the Air

Superb listen for those interested in pagan themes

This is the first in Nora Roberts Trilogy of the 'Three Sisters Island' series, and it a truly mesmerising story from book 1 right through to book 3. The storyline takes you through the main characters history up to the present time, from the darkest of their days to the best of them. It has a deeply pagan theme which followers of this lifestyle will recognise many of the spells written into the books and this must reflect the authors following or research into the old ways.

I would tend to lean towards the research side as most spells within the book end with the all too familiar line ' so mote it be ', which many followers of the wiccan path will know is never used in true spell casting. It is amazing how many people have picked this up from programmes like ' charmed ' and believe it is the right way to end a spell, but that is poetic licence for you.

The books must be heard as a series otherwise you will miss out on the continuing theme which ends in a superb climax at the end of book 3.

Very highly rated series, and if you enjoy this then you would enjoy many of the other 'trilogy' books from the same author.

Really Disappointed

I have to say I enjoy Nora Roberts books normally but Dance Upon Air, I found the narration a huge problem to get past. The main character Nell sounded like Marilyn Monroe on helium and the male characters had such a strange gutteral sound, I found it very difficult to feel anything for them.

Excellent book. I can’t wait to read the next one. Will have to wait until I get a credit as buying is too expensive.

Excellent book. Can’t wait for the next book. It’s a shame that the audio books are so expensive.

Great Book! Really enjoyed listening to it!

When Nora Roberts writes books with a supernatural twist they are always brilliant and this book is no exception. I really enjoyed the plot and the characters were compelling and interesting.

I'm really looking forward to listening to the other 2 books in this series.

fantastic 🤩😍

This audio book makes me want to be a witch! I love the story. Which involves a strong main female lead, intent on getting away from love gone wrong. Prince charming was as is always a snake in disguise. She eventually comes to Three sister's island. A place birthed by witches. here she finds her elemental sisters, her place and her power to take on her snake and demons. she also finds her knight with a blue badge. he is drawn to her the moment he sees her and will go to any length to show her, he will be her lover. and that she is protected and he won't let any one hurt her ever again.

Powerful Starting Over Novel

A powerful story of Nell, a woman starting over from an abusive relationship. Learning how to make friends and trust in herself again. The magic aspect is used wonderfully as a catalyst, however the relationships developed between the women and male protagonist are beautifully written that their individual personalities make sense for the storyline and their own back stories, without taking away from the emotional struggles Nell copes with and conquers.

Better as a book

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

I was a little disappointed in this book. I loved it when I read it and have read it a couple of times over the years but when you actually hear the dialogue spoken aloud, it's a bit clunky, especially the extremely macho male protagonist. I laughed aloud a couple of times and rolled my eyes a couple more times.

What did you like best about this story?

I still love the story and the interactions between the female characters were great.

If this book were a film would you go see it?

Not if our Sheriff continued to be so aggressively macho.

Any additional comments?

I love Nora Roberts- this is the first of her books that I've listened to. Not entirely sure I'll do any more.
