Summary: Extrordinary
Review: I couldn't put it down. This book is profoundly moving. It brought me to tears to read of Sorcha's misfotunes. She never knowing her mother, her father's negligence and her loving brothers transformed into swans. She is then cast out to live her life in the forest until she can break the spell put upon her brothers by the evil scorceress her father marries. Sorcha's love and determination to bring her brothers back wills her to finish the task set upon her. She is then kidnapped by the enemy a british lord named Red, to his estate where she can complete her task in safety. She is perscuted by the Britians from their own fears and ignorance against her people.While Red tries to sheild her from their hate. Sorcha so engulfed in her work never notices how Red falls in love with her. In the end after her many other near life death experience she's saved by Red and she saves her brothers. She leaves Red before realizing how much she loves him too. At the very end he comes for her leaving all he cares about behind to live in a place of foreigners to be with her. The story was heart warming and the characters realistic. You can't help but feel for them. It was a bit tiresome to read all those pages of Sorcha's sorrows, but overall it was an extrordinary book. I've reread it atleast a dozen times and its still as enchanting as the first. A book full of myths, magic and love I give it five stars. The second book ,Son of the Shadows,will capture you into the story. It's even more enticing than the first. The third, Child of the Prophecy is lacking in the female heroism. The lead female character seems to struggle more with her own self than anyone. Overall the Sevenwaters Trilogy is worth a read.

Summary: My favorite book!
Review: I was at the book store searching for something new to read, and I came across Daughter of the Forest. The story seemed interesting so I brought it home. I read the entire thing in two days. This book is amazing because the characters seem so real, and the places feel like you could just walk into them. Juliet Marillier did a wonderful job writing the story based on the old celtic myth and making it come to life. Sorcha, the main character, needs to save her brothers from an evil sorceress's curse: they have been turned into swans. The only way Sorcha can acheive this is by weaving a shirt of a painful starwort plant for each brother. And while she does this she must remain silent. When Sorcha is captured by a briton lord and taken over to his country, the impossible happens, and Sorcha is faced with the decision to save her family or save the love of her life.For only seven dollars, believe me, Daughter of the Forest is worth every penny.

Summary: An enchanting story...
Review: I don't think I've ever fell more in love with a book. Juliet Marrilier weaves a story that you will instantly fall in love with. The plot is interesting, the characters so real, and the love and hate shine true. I recommend this for anyone over the age of 13, you'll fall in love with Sorcha, Red, and even Lady Oonagh.

Summary: An absolute delight!
Review: When I picked up this book at the public library, I had no idea what an awesome book this was even though the summary on the front flap was promising. Daughter of the Forest is a rare find in the midst of all retelling of fairy tales. It took my favorite story and rewrote it, adding depth and an understanding of their lives. It truly is a wonderful book to read, and is an asset to any book collection.
