Another fantastic Sevenwaters novel. I had forgotten the ending, since it's been 4 years since I initially read it.

Tied with 'Heir of Sevenwaters' as my outstanding favourites from the series (or possibly even my favourite). Deep, rich characters with incredible plot-turns that revolve much less around the author's seeming cookie-cutter romantic overlay that weakens the others in the series. Fabulously written, incredible emotional depth and fantastic adventure. It's possible that I enjoyed it so much due to my affinity for the lead characters from her other books set in this world. Plainly said, I loved it!

The entire story was extremely predictable, the characters were shallow, and Maeve was a bit of an annoying character. Overall though it's a fun read and I enjoyed it despite my listed annoyances.

The story is utterly predictable and the main character is too suspicious of every other character around, maybe with good reason, but it seems to get out of hand and there is no reason WHY she should feel that way expect she doesn't trust anyone. It was a fun read, but I wouldn't want to read it again unlike the other series I've read by her.

God bless Juliet Marillier, her Sevenwaters books are always a fantastic read.
The end feels like it's setting up for a book about Ciaran, which I wouldn't complain about at all. :)

This isn't on the same level as the original Sevenwaters trilogy, but it's still pretty good. These last three books are definitely more of a YA Fantasy, not as complex, but still entertaining. The language also felt a little more modern that the rest of the books.
I still really love the way that Juliet tells a story. I loved how resilient, strong and determined Maeve was and how she always fought for what she thought was right. The romance, however, felt a bit rushed and nonsensical, but I liked that she got her happily ever after.
Juliet Marillier does a very good job of tidily tying up other story lines from the series.
Overall, this was great, but the ending was a little odd and abrupt.

I wasn’t crazy about this last one. I liked Maeve but the dog thing was too much although I guess it does sort of bring the story full circle. I’m ranting bc I just finished it. Whatever it’s a3.5. I liked the sisters and their stories for the most part but I would’ve like to hear more of Liadan and Bran’s perspectives and their sons. The first three books were the best in the series. Ok bye

really not the best book in the sevenwaters series. it didn't have the same feeling the previous ones had. even though the story was not the best it did bring a sense of closure for some of the characters. you could almost not read this book and be satisfied with were the previous book left off.
