acozyreaderlife 's review for:
Daughter of the Forest
by Juliet Marillier
Thank you Macmillian-Tor/Forge for this ARC in exchange for an honest review! This sounds amazing! I can't wait to read it!
Trigger warnings: Graphic rape, graphic animal death
‘Daughter of the Forest’ a beautiful story about the lengths a girl would go to save her brothers. Sorcha is set with an impossible task, she must lift the spell that was cast by her evil stepmother, an enchantress. Her stepmother cursed Sorcha and her brothers and turned her brothers into swans. Now Sorcha must leave home to try and lift the curse. There is a catch; however, she cannot speak a word for fear that her brothers will be cursed forever.
As far as the plot itself, this story is an epic quest. Sorcha pours out her soul, working relentlessly to try and save her brothers. Even putting her own health and well being aside to save them. Along her journey, she meets a kind stranger who takes her under his wing, and he tries to help her.
As mentioned above, this story does contain the trigger warnings listed. The author did show throughout the book the long term psychological damage that this act has on the character. There is also an animal death, which was very upsetting to read. That being said, this is one of the best-written books that I have read in a very long time. The characters were fully developed and felt like real people. This book is not for everyone. However, if this book did not contain those scenes mentioned, I would have given this book 5 stars.
