I've been re-reading the Sevenwaters series by Juliet Marillier, and this book is one of the more recent books that I hadn't read. I read the first book in the series when I was in high school, and in re-reading it all again, I find that I still love the story and I haven't outgrown it at all.
The first book is about Sorcha, the second book is about her daughter Liadan, the third book is about her granddaughter Fainne (her mother is Niamh, Liadan's sister), and this book is about Clodagh (Sorcha's son's daughter).
Clodagh is the most normal daughter in the family, according to her, and wants nothing more than to be just like her mother. Unfortunately, the son of the Fairy prince falls in love with her and gives her an adventure she never expected. But like all daughters of Sevenwaters, she has more skills than you would expect and more stubbornness than is wise. She is able to fulfill the quest and have her man too.
This is not my favorite book, but I admire Juliet Marillier for finding ways to maintain interest in the characters and keep the same quality of writing. I can't wait for the next book to come out in paperback... because the next book is about Sibeal, Clodagh's sister, the seer.
