eruwen's Book Journey
Daughter of the Forest (Sevenwaters, #1)

Every time I've read this book (probably 5+) I find it to be so touching and beautiful. There's an inherent mysticism laced throughout, and the writing is gorgeous and evocative. I think I most admire Sorcha's strength of character. She has an inner calm and determination that guide her story, and it's stunning and moving to witness.
“Do not judge a book by its cover.” Well, that’s exactly what I did here! It was mid-2000s and the years of literature reading I’d had to do for high school and uni had completely sucked the joy of reading out of me. I was wandering in a bookstore and saw the Dutch translation of this trilogy (it was still a trilogy back then). The covers were absolutely gorgeous - I still have them, the only Dutch books left on my shelves. I decided to give it a go because the story sounded interesting. I LOVED it. It brought my love of reading back to life, and it is still one of my all-time favorite series. The writing is just absolutely beautiful. Highly underrated IMO!
