Review: Daughter of the Forest

Daughter of the Forest by Juliet Marillier

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



First off, I am proud of myself for knowing that "Sorcha" is pronounced with a hard 'k' sound.
Next, I would like to say that I had to keep checking the author's name to make sure it hadn't changed into "[a:Robin McKinley|5339|Robin McKinley|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1314406026p2/5339.jpg]." VERY similar style and subject matter. Happily, I'm a fan of that, so I enjoyed this read. The best predictor I can give you about your reaction to this book is to ask whether or not you liked [b:Deerskin|8087|Deerskin|Robin McKinley|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1309211015s/8087.jpg|2321293], because it was the SAME story clothed in a slightly different fairytale.
I loved the forest descriptions; I was a little surprised at how quickly the story resolved in the end, but that impression may have had more to do with how I sat down and READ without stopping for the last hundred-or-so pages rather than being an accurate reflection of a problem with pacing.
