I love the Sevenwaters trilogy! The first book is a tear jerker for me however I really loved them all and this is another one of my series that I can't bear to part with! If you like this series you would also probaly like the Kusiel's Dart, Chosen, and Avatar series.

Almost as good as Daughter of the Forest (the first book), but I personally found the story of Sorcha more compelling than Liadan. Still, an excellent book with top-notch writing.

I liked Marillier's Daughter of the Forest a lot better; I liked the character development in this story but found the plot overly steeped in Druidic history and magic.

A fantastic sequel to the first book you can't help but fall in love with the next generation of Sevenwater children. This is my favorite of the series, for nothing is what it seems.

Second book in "The Sevenwaters Trilogy." "Daughter of the Forest" was the first in the series and I've already sent that to someone. I loved this series. "Child of the Prophecy" is the third book but I haven't read it yet.

I loved this book, I accidentally read them out of order and read book 3 second, but I knew the characters from book 1 well enough so it didn't matter. Each story is self contained and has a beginning and an end. I might read it a second time I liked it so much.

I read the first in the series 6 months ago and loved it. I have so many books to read and finally got around to reading Son of Shadows, it was just as good as the first one. She is an amazing writer, She can truly spin a story. I ordering the 3rd book Child of the Prophecy immediately! Can't wait yo continue the saga and see how everything works out.

This is the second novel, after Daughter of the Forest.

This is the tale of Liadan, a medicinal herbal healer like her mother Sorcha, who gets thrown into an adventure with a bunch of outlaws. She befriends the crew on the way, and creates a strong bond with the leader. A unlikely companionship who comes from different sides of propriety. They struggle against the forces of what is right and proper to the Sevenwaters family - and their own feelings toward each other - and those that are willing to tear them apart and keep them apart at all costs.

Love finds them, and it is stronger than the forces that try to bend their path differently

Excellent book! Once again Juliet Marillier sucks you into the story with all the great characters. Most of the characters from the first book also make an appearance, or at least are mentioned. Liadan, the heroine, is a mini version of Sorcha, though has to overcome a whole new set of obstacles. Like the first book, you are caught up cheering for her all the way.
