A review by pancakereads
Daughter of the Forest, by Juliet Marillier
2.0
2.5
It started off so good! I love the setting and the main character Sorcha and her six brothers. Their relationship was a highlight! But then halfway through it just took a path I didn’t like.
At the beginning, the scenes between Sorcha and Simon were so intimate and heart wrenching, so when the story became a romance between her and his brother, I lost interest.
As Sorcha thinks about Simon at the end, “Each of us wore our memories of what might have been.” I long for that other version, the far more compelling story about her and the boy she nursed back to health and saved from himself. This book disappointed me so thoroughly!
