I’m speechless. Daughter of the Forest is a tragically beautiful retelling of The Six Swans fairytale. It didn’t take long for me to fall in love with these characters and the journey they went on. This book requires patience, but Juliet Marillier will reward you tenfold with the ultimate slow burn romance.
Highly recommend this for fans of The Bear and the Nightingale, or anyone who loves folklore, fairies, or historical fantasy.
TW: rape, animal death
