I’m speechless. Daughter of the Forest is a tragically beautiful retelling of The Six Swans fairytale. It didn’t take long for me to fall in love with these characters and the journey they went on. This book requires patience, but Juliet Marillier will reward you tenfold with the ultimate slow burn romance.

Highly recommend this for fans of The Bear and the Nightingale, or anyone who loves folklore, fairies, or historical fantasy.

hannahollihan's review against another edition

1. Rape of a child, the fae know it’s going to happen and don’t do anything and think she needs to suffer in order to grow and break the curse, then she is GRATEFUL she gets pregnant from the rape. Our MC has no agency, she is a tool for breaking the curse and hasn’t been able to make her own decisions or choices almost the entire book. Only the first act of rebellion at the beginning. I was enjoying this and even after the rape happened but the more I think about it the more frustrated and angry I get. ALSO the dog dies. Wtf????
