About this listen
Lovely Sorcha is the seventh child and only daughter of Lord Colum of Sevenwaters. Bereft of a mother, she is comforted by her six brothers who love and protect her. Sorcha is the light in their lives, they are determined that she know only contentment. But Sorcha's joy is shattered when her father is bewitched by his new wife, an evil enchantress who binds her brothers with a terrible spell, a spell which only Sorcha can lift-by staying silent.
If she speaks before she completes the quest set to her by the Fair Folk and their queen, the Lady of the Forest, she will lose her brothers forever. When Sorcha is kidnapped by the enemies of Sevenwaters and taken to a foreign land, she is torn between the desire to save her beloved brothers, and a love that comes only once. Sorcha despairs at ever being able to complete her task, but the magic of the Fair Folk knows no boundaries, and love is the strongest magic of them all...

fantastic story
The narrator takes a while to get used too, her accents are terrible and pronounces names wrong, however the story is amazing I was listening to this everyday. can't wait for my next credit to move on to the next book.

Daughter of the forest
This story has great depth and is meaningful with wonderful intense descriptions every step of the way. The narrator’s rich voice with each character changes keeping you wanting to hear more and more. Congratulations for Story telling at its best.

This story
I loved this book, I think that it has an amazing storyline, and I think that the main protagonist is a perfect match for Red. Once I started, I could not sleep until I finished this book, and once I did, I was really upset that there was no more. Sometimes, I felt as if I was Surraha (Sorry if that is spelt wrong, just tell me). However, sometimes I felt like shaking her and saying OMG YOU R STUPID GET A GRIP
Going on to the person actually reading the story to us, I feel like she's upset about something I mean like she's not terrible but maybe she should get a grip before reading this story or maybe she feels like she relates to the story? I don't know. Overall, this book is a must-read!

Harrowing at times but in the end very rewarding
Steeped deeply in Irish myth and folklore, the book is also a retelling of the six swans fairy tale.
As always, Juliet Marillier dazzles with her representation of the uncanny, the subconscious, the unconscious and weaves it into a harsh but in the end rewarding tale of a family being torn apart where the sister and her six brothers have got to find if they have it in and amongst themselves to mend what has been broken by others.
The audiobook is very well done and very well narrated. It was a joy to listen to this narration from beginning to end.

Ruined by Narrator
I wanted to listen to this series, after listening to, and loving the "Blackthorn and Grim" series. Natalie Gold narrated that series beautifully, along with Nick Sullivan and others. This book, "Daughter of the Forest" might be a wonderful story, but unfortunately it has been ruined by Terry Donnelly's awful attempt to narrate it. Since I'm aware that the next book in this series is narrated by someone else, I will suffer through this book, and hope that Rosalyn Landor is better. It is a truth that the best book can be utterly ruined by a poor narrator, and this performance is certainly proof of that fact

Great take - not for the depressed!
Vivid characterisation from the narrator. Exciting story but nearly unredeemingly full of pain and sorrow. Really enjoyed it 😀
