Helpful Score: 3

In my dreams alone could I ever write this well. Marillier has crafted a story that seems magic itself. Daughter of the Forest is the first of The Sevenwaters trilogy, and a Celtic fairy tale fleshed out in a full novel. When her 6 brothers fall victim to the spell of their new stepmother, who turns them into swans, it's is up to Sorcha to pay the price to bring them back to themselves...seven years of silence, never speaking a word through all the trials and horrors she faces, and sewing six shirts made out of a thorny plant which ruins her hands. Sorcha is the most heroic character I have ever read. This is my favorite book EVER. Read it, you won't be dissapointed.
