Kate Forsyth
Daughter of the Forest by Juliet Marillier is one of my all-time favourite books, that I like to re-read every few years. A retelling of the ‘Six Swans’ fairy-tale, set in ancient Ireland, it is a beautiful story of courage, love, peril and wonder set in a world where magic is only ever a hairsbreadth away from us all.

This was seriously an amazing book! And I can not wait to start the next book! OMG I loved Wildwood Dancing, but that YA book has nothing, absolutely nothing, on this book!

Seriously, this book was just so, so good. I was so close to crying actual tears, but I couldn't stop myself from exclaiming out loud or thrashing about as I sped through the second half of the book.

I will do a review soon (possibly when I finish the trilogy and calm down from my crazy feels).

An epic series in the making, loosely based on the fairytale of the seven swans, part ancient Irish/Celtic and filled with herb lore, evil stepmothers, quests, druids and the sight. A great start...
