annarella 's review for:

Daughter of the Forest by Juliet Marillier
5.0

It was an excellent read: dark, enthralling and well written.
I loved this retelling of an ancient Irish saga, I think it's well written and the author is a talented storyteller.
I think there's a lot of character development and an interesting world building.
I think it's also realistic in describing an age when the values were very different and I don't expect anything set in that age to reflect our sensitivity.
I want to read the rest of the series and I really loved this first instalment.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.
