This is the first book in a long time that has made me cry. It was beautifully written, and even though the main character could not speak through 3/4 of the book, I barely noticed. That was remarkable to me. It's based on a celtic fairy tale, but it wasn't one I was very familiar with so the story ...
This retelling of the Grimm's fairy tale the Six Swans is simply outstanding. I stumbled on Juliet Marillier doing some searches on Amazon, and I simply do not understand why she has not achieved the vast popular success that she deserves. Her books are all outstanding, and Daughter of the Forest ...
No RatingI cannot fairly rate this book so I'm going to leave it as it is. I was originally attracted by the high ratings and positive reviews but I discovered early on that, for whatever reason, this book simply isn't for me. I couldn't appreciate the story enough to read on and that is why I won't...
It might not bother me so much, the girl in nature learning all the healing plants blah, blah, blah*, except that the cover illustration looks so much likeThe Mists of Avalon. I've read that book, and now I want to read a different one.*Do any of these fantasy writers who are so in love with herbal...
What a breathtakingly beautiful book! It’s hard to describe Daughter of the Forest. It is a fantasy, a historical, and a romance. It reads like a fable or a fairy tale. It has all the elements of a fairy tale – the evil stepmother, a fairy godmother (sort of), an enchantment, an impossible task to a...
I would tag this 4.5Classic style fantasy, beautiful writing, the re-invention of an old myth...a lot of requirements are met here for meThere were a few relationship issues I did not buy, other than that a truly gorgeous book.
Oh my god. This book. There are some books you read that are pretty good book. You love the characters, the world, the story, and you read it for its pure cotton candy goodness. Light and fun and tasty, but when you finish it really does not linger with you very long. Then there are some books yo...
I had heard many good things about this book and so wanted to like it. I wasn't even able to finish it. I'm one of those strange people who like long books that are descriptive to what some people would call a point of agony but I like it when it is done WELL. The plot took an insane amount of time ...
This book is different of any other book I've ever read. The mythology was very refreshing and interesting, although the part where Sorcha is torturing herself by making the shirts could have been less extensive.Still, Red is a great character and I fell in love with him immediatly.I will read the o...
To say that I enjoyed this book would be a gross understatement. I was absolutely amazed with it! The story used to be one of my favorite fairytales as a kid and I'm glad that this version stayed so close to it and also managed to expand so well outside the original tale. Sorcha is an amazing heroin...
