by Juliet Marillier
Juliet Marillier is so very talented. The skill in which she crafts prose and weaves stories with such beauty is simply amazing. While I don't love all of her stories, for whatever reason (maybe a particular plot won't excite me, or maybe I can't relate to the main characters of a given story), the ...
Ironically enough, I wound up loving Child of the Prophecy more than its predecessor, Son of the Shadows. For many, this original concluding foray into Sevenwaters was a disappointment, sadly lacking in comparison to the beauty that was Daughter of the Forest and the epic that was Son of the Shadows...
{Spoilers}Bah, this book was just irritating. I skimmed through all the nonsense and repetition, which was basically the whole book and i kept waiting for something or anything unexpected and interesting to happen. I was disappointed. The ending scenes were badly written. I wanted more magic since t...
Reading this book made me realize how perfect the protagonists of the previous Sevenwaters books were. Sorcha and Liadan were model women in their community and among their peers.

While I'm not sure I would give this book five stars if I came to it with fresh eyes today, I do so anyway because a) an autho...
I really want to give this book 4 stars instead of 3, but for the majority of it I had to force myself through. A lot of that could be that my mind was not into even before I started, but I honestly felt bored most of the book. The ending shaped up nicely, though, which is probably why it's even get...
It wasn't awful but it didn't engage me. I skimmed the last 100 or so pages because I wanted to know what happened in the end, but I was just tired of slogging through it. The plot was actually interesting, but the prose was sort of lifeless. Its like the author plotted out all three and enjoyed w...
