Question about the Seven Sisters by Lucinda Riley

[Rae36]

I'm listening to the audiobook version of this.

I am finding the guy, Fioriano, I have no idea how to spell his name, that Maia meets in Rio, to be really quite creepy, quite predatory. But I can't decide if it's just the way the narrator is voicing his words, or if you read the book is he also creepy? Particularly the way the narrator makes it sound when he says her name, it's really bugging me.

He comes across as much older, the way he has got himself so involved in her story when he barely knows her, the way he seems to put himself across as so much more experienced and worldly wise and she's just a younger, naive woman who needs him to take care of her, it's all weird.

But maybe if I'd read the book for myself I'd get a different opinion of him?

I haven't got to the end yet so don't tell me if he does turn out to be a good guy or a bad guy at the end, but half way through the book what was your opinion of him?

I thought it would be a spoiler for a book, not the entire series 😫

Ah, ok, thanks! Just think it would have been nice for me to have found out in my own time...but it's not a big deal. Serves me right for starting a thread in the first place haha!

I'm reading Atlas now but haven't read the others. (Ithought it was my book club book then it turned out I'd misunderstood, but am now hooked!) I think working through all the mysteries backwards from knowing all about Pa Salt might be fun, or have I ruined it all for myself?

I’d say the Pa Salt storyline is a kind of ongoing thread in the other books but the big focus is always on the sister finding her history & her partner. And as in most stories, it’s always pretty obvious who they’re going to end up with.

If you’re happy to go with the concept of working back to see how everyone got to where they are, rather than seeing what’s going to happen to them, I think you’re fine.
