Daughter of the Forest by Juliet Marillier

adventurous dark emotional slow-paced
I went into this novel with trepidation because I know it is so well loved and that there would be some hard content warnings. However, this was such an amazing fantasy novel! Marillier took the fairytale of the Six Swans and really made it her own. It is vivid, and the writing was lovely. Sorcha is a compelling, strong protagonist, and her journey throughout the novel is beautiful, heartbreaking, and hopeful. The romance was absolutely charming. There is a very graphic scene that was hard to read, so please look up trigger warnings, but I thought it was handled well. I love that each brother has their own personality, and I loved following all the characters in their adventures. Daughter of the Forest is a wonderful tale of family, heartbreak, and endurance, and I cannot recommend it enough!
