No review I do could ever do this book true justice. The writing is beautiful and so too is the story. I had not known about the swans myth prior to reading this and so I came into it not knowing what to expect aside from what the summary states. But what I found I quickly fell in love with.

What a perfect story. Sorcha rocks my socks. Her brothers are awesome, especially Finbar. And I adore Red. What an amazing story! I have got to buy a copy of my own.

The beginning was a bit slow, but it eventually picked up and I was able to lose myself in Sorcha's story. I admired her determination to persevere even though the odds were stacked against her. I thought her brothers became quite overbearing at the end of the book. If she was able to fend for herse...
A few friends have recommended Daughter of the Forest to me and I'm kinda kicking myself for not reading this book sooner.
