I’ve finally finished the Sevenwaters series. I would DEFINITELY recommend the original trilogy, but maybe only read the books four through seven if you’re a really big fan.

As for The Flame of Sevenwaters, I really loved Maeve’s character and how her disability was portrayed. I used to read a lot of animal rescue books in elementary school, and this book was like a more refined adult version of the genre, so I was really invested and enjoying the book. 

In fact, I was going to rate it a four until that…transformation…occurs at the end. Marillier had the chance to break her usual formula with Seer of Sevenwaters and Flame of Sevenwaters, I just can’t believe she squandered it.
