Heir to Sevenwaters by Juliet Marillier
4.0
I LOVED the first three books in the Sevenwaters series. I was enchanted and entranced by all three. I liked this fourth installment a great deal, but it wasn’t quite the same.
Like the second book, this one was obviously and primarily a love story. But unlike the second book, I didn’t connect with the protagonist, which made it less tolerable. This book also felt less like a fairytale than the previous three, though I’m not sure why, since it contained far more faeries overall.
Those minor complaints aside, this is still an excellently crafted story written by a masterful fantasy author. It was beautiful and poignant. It’s a wonderful book, just marginally less wonderful than its predecessors.
