Her joy is shattered when her widowed father is bewitched by an evil enchantress who binds her brothers with a terrible spell. Only Sorcha can lift the spell by staying silent. If she speaks before completing the quest set to her by the Fair Folk and their queen, she will lose her brothers forever.

When Sorcha is kidnapped by the enemies of Sevenwaters and taken to a foreign land, she is torn between the desire to save her beloved brothers, and a love that comes only once. Sorcha despairs at ever being able to complete her task, but the magic of the Fair Folk knows no boundaries, and love is the strongest magic of them all.… (mere)

I loved the atmosphere in this book. The woods, the magic, the fairies. The bond between Sorcha and her brothers was heart-warming. It was quite easy to lose myself in this book and live Sorcha's life alongside her. The reason I haven't given this 5 stars is mostly because of the ending. First, I was a bit disappointed in Sorcha's brothers' attitude after they were rescued. After all Sorcha has done for them, you would think they might trust her a bit more to make her own decisions. And you'd think that Sorcha would make this clear to them. Also, the end seemed to drag on a bit. I wasn't quite as captured by the story as I was in the beginning. But it was a lovely read and I'm definitely going to look for the sequels... ( )

This was my first foray into fantasy. I'd never cared for it in the past, and I don't even remember why I allowed my friend to foist this title on me that summer. It was so engrossing that I couldn't even put it down, even to sleep. I pretty much stayed awake until it was done... and then I started to read it again. I suppose it helps that it's a retelling of one of my favorite fairytales, but the way it was told was so new to me at the time, and Juliet Marillier is such a masterful storyteller. It's a title that rests in the back of my head as everything that is Good and Perfect in the fantasy genre. I read the next two books and they weren't quite as good (really didn't care for the second book in fact, the characters I really liked mostly died and the rest were pretty annoying), but when friends as me for fantasy recommendations, Daughter of the Forest is always near the top of my list.

I loved this book! It's such a poignant retelling of "Wild Swans" by Hans Christian Andersen. I highly recommend! ( )

SO I'm terrified to read the next book because this book delivered above and beyond what I expected. A solid 5 stars.

A book where the lead person CAN'T TALK!!!! and it's THAT GOOD ( )

Het boek is uit en ik heb genoten. Hier en daar zelfs een traantje weggepinkt. Een heerlijk verhaal, de connectie met het sprookje is voor mij een plus. Ook fijne karakters en de onderliggende boodschap dat er bij een oorlog aan beide kanten goede en kwade dingen gebeuren vind ik in deze tijd extra interessant. ( )
