Slightly better than the last one. I got bored at the end.

Une fois de plus j'ai été transporté ! J'ai adoré ce nouveau tome dans lequel on suit la 6ème soeur Electra star mannequin à NYC qui doit apprendre à dire non à ses démons : alcool et cocaïne, pour enfin découvrir qui elle est et d'où elle vient. Un roman qui nous emmène au Kenya, pays cher à mon coeur !

I was very wary about going into this novel just because Electra did not seem like a very likable character in the last installments. I loved the development of her character undertook in this novel and how she found her voice in all her troubles. I also liked Cecily's story and how it tied in with Electra's story. Furthermore, it was interesting to see Kenja during World War II as it is a perspective that I have not read before.

Now we’re onto Electra’s story. Hers bounces back and forth between present day New York City and Kenya during WWII. She’s the youngest and didn’t seem to have the best relationship with her sisters. I’m glad to learn that there was hope for Electra to come into her own and find her voice.

Ja… Wat zal ik zeggen? Dit is niet helemaal mijn ding, maar ik voel de vibe wel.

Ik keek het minst uit naar dit boek, maar gelukkig kreeg het boek een hele mooie en belangrijke twist mee. Wel blijft het voor mij te langdradig.

*Start toch met het volgende boek lezen*

Book 1 of 2025 finished 2/1/2025

Book 6 of the Seven Sisters series 

Electra D’Apliese is a successful, rich, beautiful model with an amazing lifestyle who appears to have everything but secretly she is battling with addiction fueled by grief and the pressure of her job. When a woman claiming to be related to her gets in contact it’s enough to send her over the edge. But once Stella starts to tell Electra her ancestors story Electra can’t deny their bond.

My thoughts: I really like this series but I found this one to be the least enjoyable. I found the pace to be quite slow and despite learning about her ancestors we don’t actually learn about Electra’s mum until right at the end of the book. I found myself checking how long I had left rather than just enjoying the journey. 

Electra has a complete change of character within an extremely short time period which I found unrealistic and I also didn’t think she was very likeable so I wasn’t invested in her story. Despite not overly enjoying this book I am looking forward to finding out where the seventh book will lead.
