Okay, it's been like a week since I finished this, so I suppose I should probably review it now. This review probably won't be too long, since I don't have much to criticize.Well, this is the second book by Juliet Marillier that I've read. The first was Wildwood Dancing, which I really enjoyed. Howe...
I absolutely adored this book.Not because it had a strong story to tell, but it was a lovely story to read. The way Juliet Marillier wrote was absolutely peaceful. Does that make sense? I'm sure it doesn't, and for the those that have read this little nugget of beauty probably are thinking HUH?? I g...
I first read this book in middle school when I got Son of The Shadows as a gift and then read them all out of order. This first in the series is a great set up for the series because it crosses farther into the realm of fantasy than subsequent novels. The magical realism takes you into a different t...
Wow, I am in awe... It's been really hard going to sleep at night for the past couple of nights because this book haunts me. Mostly, because I was completely drawn into the story and had to, literally, forced myself to put the book away for the night.The description of the book as a vivid and very ...
Wow.I read this book because it combined my two favorite subjects: Dystopias and angels.When it was over, I found myself staring at my Nook likedid I really just read that?The answer is yes. I really did.First of all, before I even get around to the kick-ass heroine or any of the other characters I...
If it had not been for its length, I would have given 5 stars. Even though such length gives space for its characters to be fully explored, I still think this tale can be equally beautifully written in a shorter form.
I have always loved the fairy tale about the sister with numerous brothers who had a wicked stepmother who enchanted her brothers to turn them into birds. The number of brothers and the type of birds can vary. I have seen it with ravens and with swans. In Daughter of the Forest, Ms. Marillier used ...
A lovely debut novel. The Six Swans fairytale wasn't one of my favorite fairy tales as a child, so I've not read many retellings of it (partially because it is not as popular as other fairy tales). But I would say this is one of the better (if not one of the best) retellings of the tale out there.Th...
LOVED!As the first book in the SevenWaters Series it entwines you to read the whole book and clearly wanting more. Great book for the first of the series and sets the overall theme/tale that is constant within the 5 books.Definitely recommended for YA and Historical Fiction readers (it tells of Celt...
I had trouble rating this book. The story was a beautiful retelling of a classic fairy tale and the historical backdrop just added to the story. I'm not sure if it was my mood or something else, but I had trouble getting into this book. I kept putting it back down througout the first part. It pi...
