DAUGHTER OF THE FOREST: Book 1 (The Sevenwaters Trilogy)

Product Information

Lynn – This felt like a relatively short chapter but at the same time gave me a few notions to chew on.

After years of solitary struggle, Sorcha is saved from drowning by a British lord, Hugh of Harrowfield (a. At the end of the novel, he is the brother who has one swan wing remaining, and it is implied that he mated while he was still a swan, and that because swans mate for life, he can never be fully human. THE GOOD: Great beginning, great last third, some fantastic characters and a beautiful, very subtle romance.So when I say that the atmosphere of fey magic and ancient ritual lingered for several days after I finished the book, it may say more about me than the writing. Sorcha is the first daughter of seven children but unfortunately not the the seventh son her father wanted.

Daughter of the Forest is a testimony to that talent, a first novel and the beginning of a trilogy like no other: a mixture of history and fantasy, myth and magic, legend and love. Not only would I not have the first clue about how to spin and weave but having to do so with a plant that sounds hideous to touch (kind of reminds me of nettles) – how on earth can you make clothes out of such things? Liam stays with Sorcha in Sevenwaters, and Finbar disappears in the waters, leaving only a feather behind.This is a recommendation, despite some misgivings, because while I was never so in love that I hugged the book to my chest and danced around the living room (yeah, that happens sometimes), it was also not bad.

In that respect, do you think it’s easier for the boys to not remember themselves when they’re in swan form? Their lives change when, together, they must embark upon a journey of self-discovery that will lead them far away and closer to each other. But the stakes were so high and Sorcha was faced with more and more difficulties along the way, that for a long time, I was conviced this would end badly. They can only be saved by their sister, who must weave each of them a shirt from the fibers of a specific plant that the sister must harvest herself.Something I found really interesting when I read Marillier’s Heart’s Blood was how she set it in a specific historical period, and I love that she’s done the same here. Sorcha agrees to this and spends several years in the forest, hiding from Oonagh as she works on the shirts.
