... Retelling of Beauty and the Beast by Robin McKinley-as Beauty waits to go to the Beast's castle, and the growing roses. -Daughter of the Forest by Juliet Marillier-when Sorcha is locked in the tower, furiously sewing weeds together and watching her pyre and stake being erected.

The Forest by Edward Rutherford

From Susiesharp's library I would like to pick Daughter of the Forest by Juliet Marillier, I've heard that she's a great fantasy writer. Keeping with the fantasy genre, I would recommend The Lions of al-Rassan by Guy Gavriel Kay, he's another great fantasy writer and this book is one of his ...

unfufu in FantasyFans : Romantic Fantasy (Sep 16, 2009, 12:02am)

Graceling is amazing and very romantic. Tamir Trilogy by Lynn Flewelling is awesome and Sevenwaters Trilogy by Juliet Marillier specially the first three books. I also found the Black Jewels Series rather romantic as well Warprize series are really good as well, a bit more sexually ...

Definitely agree with Juliet Marillier - especially her Sevenwaters Trilogy, starting with Daughter of the Forest. Sharon Shinn's Summers at Castle Auburn is one of my favourites, and if you don't mind YA, try Sherwood Smith's Crown Duel, Elizabeth Marie Pope's The Sherwood Ring, Sha ...

>3 durn, Medellia beat me to Angela. Gregory Frost's Fitcher's Brides is a riff on Bluebeard. Juliette Marillier's Daughter of the Forest is a retelling of the Wild Swans. Jane Yolen's Briar Rose is part of a series of novels and anthologies edited by Terri Windling that were all ...

... really looking forward to reading some more of her work now. But I don't have any more Bear on my TBR, so I've started Daughter of the Forest by Juliet Marillier. I'm about a hundred pages in now, and it reminds me of both Robin Hobb and Jacqueline Carey. I haven't clicked with the ...

From hnau's library I chose Daughter of the Forest by Juliet Marillier.

I finished Lucy Maud's Journals #V, and Daughter of the Forest, now I'm reading my Early Reviewers book Love's Civil War: Elizabeth Bowen and Charles Ritchie by Victoria Glendinning. So far very good.

... McKinley has a number of good ones, including Rose Daughter, Deerskin and Spindle's End; so does Juliet Marillier (Daughter of the Forest, Wildwood Dancing.) Angela Carter's book The Bloody Chamber might interest you, too.

... books, my shipping costs, taxes & handling were just over $22.00. So I feel I still got a really good deal. For example Daughter of the Forest is a beautiful trade paperback, gorgeous edition, and cost $1.00! #12, amaranthic, I agree with MrsLee, while Hungry Hill isn't my favourite Du ...

... illustrated books! Then I went back and checked other readers' reviews and finally read the books. (Juliet Marillier's Sevenwaters Trilogy) Not bad at all, btw, but if I hadn't heard of them before and had just taken a glance at the covers in some bookstore I'd NEVER have bought them.

Still reading Dragonhaven and Daughter of the Forest. I finished A Countess Below Stairs this morning, I didn't really like it. Predictable and shallow I thought. Um... Reading What the Dickens? by Gregory Maquire, and then I'm to start on Kushiel's Dart I'm very excited about ...

... never outwardly express what a book makes me feel. The last one that made me cry was more than a year ago, and it was Daughter of the Forest. They usually amuse me or sadden me or make me happy, but never really strong enough. I have to be in the right sort of mood to cry, really. It's ...

... Fire Rose, I enjoy the real world setting of Victorian England and America as a grounding of her works. I also love Daughter of the Forest by Juliet Marillier trilogy, although I had trouble getting through the third volume.

I clicked the touchstone of Daughter of the Forest, and it turns out I read it a couple of years ago, but somehow I never knew that it was part of a series! So I've got to say thank you just for that discovery. I've also put the other books you recommended on my 'to be read' list (which is even ...

... sure to check it out (after I make my way through at least some of Mount St. TBR). The description reminds me a little of Daughter of the Forest, based on the fairy tale about the seven brothers who were turned into swans. Maybe nothing to do with this, but I really enjoyed that series as ...

I noticed someone above (far above) mentioned Isobelle Carmody and Juliet Marillier. I've read Marillier's Daughter of the Forest and the first two books in Carmody's Obernewtyn and Gateway series (the way I have the titles worded in my catalogue makes it look like I'm the only who has ...

wisewoman in Early Reviewers : Black Ships (Jan 30, 2008, 9:55am)

... it's quite good. I'm about 50 pages in, and it seems like a cross between Ursula K. Le Guin's The Tombs of Atuan and the Sevenwaters Trilogy by Juliet Marillier. The subject is more like Le Guin's book, while the first-person narative style and tone are more like Marillier. I truly enjoy both ...

#32, 33 I love Daughter of the Forest as well! It's a great trilogy-one of my all-time favorites. My name (Darragh) actually comes from my favorite character in the 3rd book. Maybe it's time to reread those books... Right now I'm rereading On a Pale Horse by Piers Anthony. I loved it ...

#32 - I loved Daughter of the Forest. I just recently read it for the second time. I'm reading Throne of Jade by Naomi Novik. It's been a while since the group read, so I hope I remember His Majesty's Dragon.

aarti in FantasyFans : Strong Female leads (Apr 17, 2007, 11:57am)

Re: #31, I would personally have to disagree with Daughter of the Forest. I didn't find Sorcha to be a strong female lead. I thought she was very Mary Sue-like and found her pretty boring, actually. But I say that knowing I am in the minority there! I have heard a lot about The Hero and ...

Child of the Prophecy comes next, and Son of the Shadows finishes it off. She has another series called The ...

... with #13. The choices are excellent. I will also add Neil Gaiman - start with Neverwhere, I think, and Juliet Marillier's Daughter of the Forest which is a Celtic retelling of the Wild Swans fairy tale. Also, she might enjoy Bear Daughter by Judith Berman (pay no attention to that silly, ...

I read her Daughter of the Forest, but frankly didn't like it at all. I don't think it was just a mood thing for me- I found the heroine to be very much a Mary Sue, and both she and the hero were very black and white to me, without any real nuances to their personalities. I wasn't a fan at all, ...

My favorite trilogy has to be The Sevenwaters Trilogy by Juilet Marillier: Daughter of the Forest, Son of the Shadows, and Child of the Prophecy. It's a trilogy of ancient Ireland historical fiction which delves into pagan rituals and faery folk. Very good books. The First (Daughter of ...

... I will have to be the lone voice of dissent on Juliet Marillier and her Sevenwaters Trilogy. Admittedly, I only read Daughter of the Forest, but I didn't like it at all. I tend not to like females in literature (I know- that probably speaks volumes about me), and I found Sorcha to be ...

I though Daughter of the Forest was based on The Children of Lir? If you liked Bridge of birds you might try the Kai Lung books by Ernest Bramah

... Juliet Marillier's style is like historical-type fantasy? I absolutely adore her Sevenwaters trilogy starting with Daughter of the Forest which is loosely based on the Seven Swans Anderson fairytale, and set in Ireland.
