Honestly, it's like food for the soul whenever I read your reviews. They're just that good, haha. ;) <br /><br />I recall trying to read this almost exactly one year ago, but I put it down after 50 pages because I was studying for a major exam. For whatever reason, I never decided to pick it up again, and there it is on my bookshelf at this moment collecting piles of dust and yearning to be read. Your review, however, convinced me that I absolutely MUST get back to it! After all, I loved Heart's Blood very much. <br />P.S. I'm a Glutton for Slow Burning Romance too. ;) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-81216351399141536312012-12-18T20:07:56.271-05:002012-12-18T20:07:56.271-05:00This sounds really great so I think I may need to ...This sounds really great so I think I may need to try and locate a copy of this book.

I'm a very different reader than Lauren but I found that I loved it much the same as she did, and that seems to be much the same as you. So fantastic and incredible! Where we differ is that when I read a book like that - so amazing and epic and just, delicious, for lack of a better word - I have to soak in it for such a long time and think about it and I'm not ready to give it up yet. Even though it has been a couple of months, I'm still not ready to read the second book, especially since I've heard that it might be better than Daughter of the Forest. I'm don't want to give that incredible space up yet and make room for another story to fill it. That probably doesn't make any sense at all. I'm so glad you loved this one and I love your thoughts on it.

I definitely plan on checking this one out as I love that it features a realistic heroine who isn't waiting around for some hot guy to show up and rescue her. Oh, and the way you described the romance completely sold me!

The kind with those few very special moments that mean so much without really even happening. I might have read this as a teen cause it seems familiar. Other than the cover which is of course very familiar. If I did read it I don't re all the story at all. <br />Off to get it!

I hear you! That's by far the best kind of romance in literature. ;)<br /> <br />That aside, I agree with basically everything you've said in your review. It's been years since I've last read Daughter of the Forest, but it's one of the best fairy tale retellings I've ever read; one of the best adult fantasy books in general that I've ever read, actually. I love that so many people are reviewing it and bringing it to the attention of others who may have otherwise passed it by. I definitely need to do a reread in the near future!

I love how much of an impact Sorcha had on you. The fact that she doesn't even mutter a word throughout her ordeal and yet such breathtaking romance and characterisation is developed is... well, true talent. I would not have paid much attention to this based solely on the cover, unfortunately, but thank YOU for making me want to read this!!
