Another book that I ended up finishing with a mix of various reactions, although in the end I did enjoy the book. What drew me to this one was the unusual story line, quite unlike anything I have encountered before. I have a love for Italian crafts, especially glass, and to read a book that was lo...
As seen on Ed and Em's Reviews!Sisters of Glass was very, very short. I read it in less than two hours. Just because I read it quickly, does not mean that I enjoyed it. I liked it, yes, but I would never immediately recommend it to anyone. It's not that Sisters of Glass is a bad novel, because it's ...
This was a book written in verse (though with no meter or rhyme scheme that I could discern, so really free verse) which was hugely off-putting for me. I do not enjoy nor have I ever enjoyed free verse.It makes for a choppy, novella-length tale that is decent, but nothing remarkable and not one on w...
THREE FOUR WORDS: Good Story, Wrong Execution MY REVIEW: I really had no expectations (positive or negative) at all when I starting reading Sisters of Glass by Stephanie Hemphill, and while I actually enjoyed much of the story itself, I think the overall execution was lacking.Sisters of Glass is a h...
Posted on Book Chelle.The cover for Sisters of Glass by Stephanie Hemphill is gorgeous. The doves, the glass vase, the ribbon, and the gondola. It screams romance to me. It’s different, and I think, a great representation of the book and story itself.Sisters of Glass is a historical novel written in...

I will preface this review by saying that I know absolutely nothing about poetry. When I hear about famous poets I say "I must read those some time!" but as you all know, I never do. I know they're those strange people that don't fill the page like normal writers do, and sometimes just put maybe two...
Sisters of Glass begins with the history of the Barovier family furnace and the family background. Having once been the only family to have created Cristallo, once the secret was out, all major furnaces used the secret recipe and this affected the family’s social standing.Even after the death of Ma...
This one could have been so much better but for the writing style. It lacked depth. I flew through the book because it was written in verse. However, the characters are strong, the setting is different, and the story was sweet enough to keep me reading to the end.

When she was a child her father died, leaving a contract within the family that declares Maria must marry a senator to appease his last wishes...
