At the heart of this surprisingly accomplished first novel, first book of the Sevenwaters trilogy, is a retelling of an ancient Celtic legend. Marillier's story, however, is much more than a slightly disguised fairy tale. Young Sorcha is the seventh child and only daughter of Irish Lord Colum of Sevenwaters, a domain well protected from invading Saxons and Britons by dense forest where, legend says, fey Deirdre, the Lady of the Forest, walks the woodland paths at night. Colum is first and foremost a warrior, bent on maintaining his lands against all outsiders. Not all of his sons are so bound to the old ways, and that family friction leads to outright disobedience when Sorcha and her brother Finbar help a Briton captive escape from Colum's dungeon. Soon after, Colum brings home a new wife who ensorcels everyone she can't otherwise manipulate. By her spell Sorcha's brothers are cursed to become swans. Only Sorcha, hiding deep in the forest, can break the spell by painfully weaving shirts of starwort nettle--but then Sorcha is captured by Britons and taken away across the sea. Determined to break the curse despite her captivity, Sorcha continues to work, little expecting that ultimately she will have to chose between saving her brothers and protecting the Briton lord who has defended her throughout her trials. Marillier's writing is deft and heartfelt, bypassing the usual bombast of fantasy fireworks for a rich, magical story of loyalty and love. --Charlene Brusso

Magnificent Fairytale Retelling.......2007-10-07
This is my favorite retelling of the fairytale about the brothers who are cursed and turned into swans, and the selfless sister who sacrifices all to save them. The imagery and feel to the book are mystical. This is one of my favorite books... it made me cry. The sequels are good too, but not anything compared to the first book.
One of the best.......2007-09-02
This is on my top five list of favorite books. Excellent story that will make you wish more books had this depth.
Hugely Disappointing.......2007-08-28
I very rarely start reading something without finishing it, but this book was so poorly written that I gave up inside of twenty pages, a first for me. The author's command of the English language was terrible, a fault I've occasionally forgiven when the plot grabs me (Eragorn, for example), but this storyline didn't redeem the poor writing enough to make it worth bothering with. Among other things, she has a habit of using adjectives when she intends to use adverbs that irked me to no end. If you love fantasy or romance novels, then perhaps you'll like this book, but it's aimed squarely at fans fantasy/romance who are willing to put up with the poor quality of writing common in those genres.
I don't know why fantasy aimed at adults is so terrible, but I'm having far better luck finding smart, well-written fantasy aimed at children. Phillip Pullman, Cornelia Funke, Angie Sage, and J.K. Rowling create highly readable fiction far less insulting to adult readers' intelligence than this writer is capable of producing. Where are their counterparts in the fantasy market for adults?
very engaging.......2007-06-05
I'd never read this author before, but was quickly caught up in the magical, mystical world of Sorcha. Have just finished the 2nd book and beginning the third in this trilogy. Would highly recommend all of Terry Goodkind books to fantasy lovers out there...he's the absolute BEST but Marillier is quite enjoyable as well.
Fantastic!.......2007-05-10
This book is in my top five of all books. I absolutly loved it! The historical fiction is so well blended. The magic is wonderful. I hooked my sister in this series. This Authur is one of my favorites and have read every single book yet. A very powerful book for women.
Book Description
In the tradition of James Dickey's Deliverance and Charles Frazier's Cold Mountain, bestselling author and award-winning poet James W. Hall has written a literary novel that is also an intricate, suspenseful mystery-a story blending the macabre and the historic, the genteel and the aberrant, the violent and the heroic. With his signature mix of brooding atmosphere and compelling action, Hall takes readers deep into America's own Heart of Darkness. Policewoman Charlotte Monroe has cop instincts. Scratch that. There isn't a name for the gift she has, something that borders on psychic, an ability to read people's faces and body language like the morning headlines-to size up their intentions and act before they do. It's a real ability that the FBI is trying to teach to its agents. The bureau is spending millions so they'll know the difference between a slightly raised eyebrow and a faint twitch of the lip. But Charlotte's a natural with god-given abilities, and the Feds want her in the worst way, maybe even to the point of blackmail.Still, Charlotte's gift fails to prepare her for the stranger who shows up on her doorstep with a chilling warning for her husband, a mysterious note scrawled in Cherokee hieroglyphics and a promise of things to come: "You're Next."The warning becomes more ominous as Charlotte and her husband, Parker, discover the complex truth about this man, including his position on the FBI Most Wanted list and his connection to their family.When Charlotte's deeply troubled teenage daughter runs away to join the charismatic outlaw, she follows the two of them into the spectral mists of the Great Smoky Mountains-and to the beating heart of a 150-year-old blood feud that will endanger everything she loves and challenge everything she believes.

Those who can, do...........2006-08-30
those who can't teach. Mr. Hall should stick to his classroom. This book was terrible. It started out with back story, came to the present, slipped into back story before page 70 and I gave up. The characters were flat and uninteresting, I didn't believe for a minute they were real people. There was zero chemistry between Charlotte and Parker and their daughter was a cliche. Much was made in the beginning about Charlotte ability to read faces and then...just disappeared. I almost quite reading on page 16 when Charlie Mears meets Charlotte Monroe! HELLO! There are millions of names out there - try to get some that are different from one another! This guy teaches writing? I'm glad I don't live in Florida!
Another solid effort from James Hall.......2006-01-28
With Forests of the Night, James Hall takes a break from his series of Thorn novels. This book follows Miami cop Charlotte Monroe, a woman with an exceptional ability to read other people. One day she returns from work to find her husband Parker chatting with a young Cherokee named Jacob Panther. Charlotte quickly identifies him as one of the FBI's most wanted, but before she can do much, he gets away and goes into hiding.
The bombshell of having this man in her house is followed by an even bigger one from Parker: Panther is apparently his son from a teenage romance. Parker, a criminal defense lawyer by trade, refuses to accept Panther's guilt, leading to a major conflict with Charlotte. In the middle is their sixteen year old, schizophrenic daughter who has run away in search of Panther.
Indeed, there is more to Panther's story than is initially presented, and it's all linked to an event that took place back in 1838 and is described in the prologue. (There is one historical error in this prologue, as Andrew Jackson is referred to as president; actually it was Martin Van Buren.) It is Charlotte's role to find out what this link is, even as she acts to get her daughter home.
This is a very good, well-written crime novel, although a little atypical for Hall. In most Hall books, the villain is a rather off-beat character who is warped in a unique way. In this book, the villain is a bit plainer and actually remains faceless through most of the story. Also, although Hall's books are never comic (unlike fellow Florida writer Carl Hiaasen), there usually is a touch of humor that this book doesn't have. That is not to say this book is flawed, but it is just a little different from other Hall books. However, whether you've read Hall or not, this book should not disappoint.
Incredibly bad........2006-01-23
I can make this short; it was awful. There wasn't a single character about which I cared; the plot was just plain absurd and the ending silly. I kept reading to learn more about Charlotte's talent, which isn't employed in the story until the very end by which time I was no longer interested.
Basic premise is flawed, which was distracting for me.......2006-01-07
If you don't give it too much thought, you'll probably really enjoy this thriller. Others have already adequately covered the basic plot, so I'll skip that exercise.
The author made one serious mistake, which for me detracted from an otherwise good story. Namely, he had a genetic defect being passed on from father to son, though it involves a defective "X" chromosome ("Fragile X"). As almost anyone knows, the father can only donate an "X" chromosome to a daughter (otherwise, if he donates a "Y" rather than an "X" chromosome, he ends up with a son). If he can't pass on an "X" chromosome to a son, then he obviously can't pass on a genetic defect linked to the "X" chromosome to a son either. Since this error affects the entire plot, I can only give this book 3 stars (I would have given it 4 otherwise).
Aside from that, I found the story to be rather enjoyable, although not really what I would call a page-turner until it got toward the end.
A COMPLEX, FASCINATING BOOK.......2005-12-31
This was an excellent book. I love how we are given seemingly irrelevent information, which is made clear and all fits together by the end of the book. The dialogue is real, which is something i find lacking in many of these suspense novels today. The storyline is complex and interesting, and makes for a great read.
(It would make an awesome movie, too)

Hurray for Rowan Hood, the girls' answer to swashbuckling Robin Hood! Rowan, a.k.a. Rosemary, is forced to disappear into the woods disguised as a boy after her mother, a woodwife with healing powers, is murdered by the local lord's henchmen. Ro's only option, other than "toiling in some lord's cabbage patch," is to find her fabled father, Robin Hood of Sherwood Forest. Along the way, this outlaw-in-training is joined by a motley crew of characters: a wolf-dog that catches arrows midflight, a giant of a boy with a spellbinding musical talent, and a runaway princess. Rowan finds Robin Hood and his merry men, but she soon discovers her troubles have only just begun.
Packed with magic, valiant warriors, nasty villains, and edge-of-your-seat adventure, this story is also a poignant search for identity and family. Rowan is a fierce female protagonist with a good head on her shoulders. Girls and boys of all ages would be proud to name her as their heroine. Award-winning author Nancy Springer (I Am Mordred: A Tale from Camelot and many others) tells a riveting tale. (Ages 11 and older) --Emilie Coulter
Book Description
Rosemary has nowhere to go when her beloved mother dies. She has never met her father-the outlaw Robin Hood-and she's grown up among the woodland creatures her mother loved. So she decides to change her name to Rowan, disguise herself as a boy, and undertake a perilous journey through Sherwood Forest, in search of Robin Hood. But how will she find him? And will he offer her a home?
"This tale is a charmer, filled with exciting action, plenty of humor, engaging characters, and a nice fantasy twist." (Booklist, starred review)
"Rowan Hood reads like the first in a series, and teens are sure to hope that it will be just that, leading to many more." (VOYA)
Customer Reviews:
Simple and Charming.......2007-05-18
I'm a bit torn on this one...one the one hand I really got a kick out of this sweet little adventure, on the other, it's a bit over-simple and predictable. With Rowan Hood: Outlaw Girl of Sherwood Forest we are introduced to 13 year old Rosemary (who later changes her name to Rowan) who lives with her mother (a "woodwife" - herbal healer and considered by some to be a witch) alone in the woods. Her world is torn asunder when the local Lord's men show up one day and burn down their little cottage in the wood...and her mother along with it. She wisely weighs her options and decides she'd prefer to seek out her outlaw father Robin Hood. So, she sets out disguised as a boy and along the way becomes enmeshed in her own adventure complete with a half wolf, half dog companion (who can catch arrows in mid-flight); gentle giant (and fantastically talented minstrel); a runaway princess; and of course Robin Hood and his men.
I liked the twist that the author came up with to explain who Robin Hood could so easily (and for so long) fool the Sheriff of Nottingham, it was cute, a little humorous, and I think appropriate. I'll be perfectly honest, I liked this book very much, except where I didn't...what I mean is that I (like many others) have a love of all things Robin Hood. So in that light, how could I not want to read this book AND how could I not fall in love with it? At the same time, this book is has fairly shallow characterization, the plot is pretty simple and easy to figure out, and it is almost TOO easy...BUT this isn't an adult book, it's a children's book, so this is forgivable. As an adult reading this, I can't help but think that there is a serious romanticizing of Robin and his men...that there would definitely be danger for young girls (or women in general) in the woods, this book paints Robin (and his men by association) as total gentlemen. Given the age range listed (9-12), the author probably could introduce some of the dangers that women faced (beyond what she did).
In the end, I gave this book 4 stars - it's a very cute, easy to like (and easy to read) book with an interesting and enjoyable twist on Robin Hood tales, complete with heroes, villains, fairy tale touches, and just a little magic. I think the word charming best describes Rowan Hood, it's one of those stories that is a little too perfect, but it leaves you smiling anyway.
An awesome and unforgettable story.......2006-12-06
When I read Rowan Hood, I was amazed by the emotional, detailed, and utterly unforgettable story. It's one of the most emotional books I've ever read. I enjoy the book because it's not like any other book I have ever read; it's hilarious, engaging, and filled with adventure. The characters were well developed, the plot was a page turner, and the setting was richly detailed. I would definitely recommend this book for anybody who enjoys fantasy style novels. Don't forget to check out the other books in this series, "Rowan Hood," "Lionclaw," "Outlaw Princess of Sherwood Forest," "Wild Boy," and "Rowan Hood Returns."
action packed .......2005-11-01
It's about a girl who lose her mother and tries to find her father. She goes in to the woods to find the outlaws which her dads with. she sleep in the woods and a half wolf/dog which she becomes a friend with the wolf/dog. It was a action paked book.
messed up story.......2005-07-17
This story is completely messed up. If anyone read the real Robin Hood book, they would know that Robin dies at the end of it. So, Rowan Hood obviously couldn't have been born, and even if she was born, she would be looking for her dead father.
A good story in the woods.......2004-04-29
(...)I liked this story. I thought it was a really, really good book but not perfect. The only thing that kept it from being the best was that the author gave away too much too soon sometimes.
Rowan Hood is about a girl whose house is burned down by a bad person (I'm not going to tell you who though since I don't want to spoil the story). The bad person goes on to capture and kill her mother leaving Rowan with only a father who she has never met and who lives out in the woods. Rowan is forced to use her toy bow and arrow to hunt for food to survive but eventually her skills get better and so do her weapons.
My favorite character was Guy of Gisborn. He is a bad guy who hunts outlaws but he does a lot of exciting things that make the book more adventurous.
I liked this book because there is a lot of adventure and surprises along the way. I would recommend you buy this book if you are into books that are set in the time of knights and archers. I think both kids and grownups will like this book.
If you like this book, I think you will also like The Dragon Slayer's Academy series and the Deltora Quest series.
I hope you like this book as much as I did.
Customer Reviews:
mountain girl.......2007-09-04
I'm glad that I purchased this book inspite of the reviews. I really enjoyed it. I love native american folklore, history and tales. I am from Montana and have always admired the native american for who they are and were. We could learn so much from them. I felt the author gave me a wonderful glimpse into the forest and the animals that belong there. I loved how she interacted her characters with those animals without it being far fetched and unrealistic. I believe there was a time and still is that animals and men can communicate. Each requires their own respect. As an artist I was able to visualize several pictures from this story that are just waiting to be put to color. Her descriptions and feel of the story did just that for me.
Be Warned!.......2002-12-06
I was pretty disappointed in this book. While I enjoy the occasional romance novel, I am wary to pick up a book by a cross-genre writer like Vella Munn. Its the story of a young woman Twana who has a special power to be able to locate animals, and even in one case, talk telepathically to them. Twana's mother disappeared many years ago, and both she and her mother have been surrounded by abusive, conniving men. Until the insipidly instant love of her life kidnaps her, and together they are able to work through their past traumas and live happily ever after.
There! You know the story and that's about as exciting as it gets. It's very negative to most of the men in the novel as a way to make the main male character more attractive and lovable to the reader.
This book isn't worth your time or money. This book belongs off the shelves of fantasy and back among the "bodice rippers."
Wimpy Native American Heroine.......2001-10-20
The stage is a Native American community in the forests of the northwest. The heroine is Twana, who has the power to communicate telepathically with animals, but has been kidnapped by a warrior from another tribe. This sounded like an attractive concept, but the more I listened to the taped version, the more I realized this was a sappy romance, with an unappealing heroine who whined and cried and mooned at the feet of her hard-headed and unfeeling captor, Madsaw. All the other characters seem ridiculously "evil", bent on destroying Twana, and Twana is the only good person, who by her humility finally wins over her captor's love. Yuk! Some heroine! Her ability to communicate with animals was focused on an "evil" bear whom she fears for most of the book, and whom she ends up telling "I love you, I love you", after she has successfully begged it to leave her beloved captor alone. This was the final act that convinced Madsaw to confess his love for her. I listened to a taped version, which made me grit my teeth frequently as the reader melodramatically whined and begged her way through Twana's character, and cackled evilly for the voices of the Shaman and other "bad guys". I was glad when it ended. I gave it a 2 instead of a 1 only because I think it would be less annoying in the book version.

Absolutely sublime.......2007-05-13
This is the most moving memoir I have ever read. The intimacy Sheridan Hill shares with her readers and close attention to details is breath taking. I could not put it down. Astonishing and simply beautiful.
This is a must read for the hospice community and the families they serve.
My Name As A Prayer.......2007-04-27
I could not put this book down, so real, taking us to that uncharted territory, the death of our mother. How do we stay present, how do we understand our relationship, how do we face death and find life?
Sheridan Hill tells her story with such detail and honesty. I am no longer afraid of death, for my parents or myself after reading this book.
A MUST READ for anyone with an elderly parent or friend.......2007-03-20
I'm one of the "baby boom" generation, we who once shouted "never trust anyone over twenty-five!" And now we are in our forties, fifties, and sixties, often facing alone the crisis of the death of a parent or loved one. Our culture has ill prepared us for this passage, a society that dwells on youth and so carefully hides away death. I lost both of my parents several years back and only wish I had first read Ms. Hill's book, it would have served as a guide, and reaffirmed as well the rightness of decisions I made for the sake of my mother and father. It is not a book about death, it is a book about living and sharing to the fullest one's final journey with a parent.
I will freely admit I wept repeatedly as I read Ms. Hill's beautifully crafted tome which honors and celebrates her mother's final months. Reading it made me realize that so much of what I experienced was valid, that I was not alone in my feelings and gave me new and hopeful insights into my own life and the spiritual journey of my mother and father.
If you just read these reviews and do not buy the book, please heed her advice from this reviewer. Listen to your parents now, talk with them, share and recall all the moments, good and bad, and fight with all your passion to insure their time of passage is a time that is respectful of their dignity. Though I do hope you purchase this work even though the subject might be the last one on your mind at this moment. For someday it will occupy your life front and center and Ms. Hill is a guide you can turn to and trust.
charmingly told..........2007-03-09
Refreshing for the heart -- as eternal family values wait til the end of one's life to come to light. I want my siblings to read this. How I wish I had had time with my own mother before her passing!
Listening to the silence from the other side.......2007-02-26
My Name As A Prayer is a book you will want to read more than once, as I intend to do. But first I have to get copies to my sister and my sister-in-law, for I think this book will speak especially to mothers and daughters. However, as a former hospice volunteer and as someone who was present during the months my parents were dying and being cared for by hospice, I find that Sheridan Hill's book also has much to teach even those of us--male or female--who have already seen our parents or other loved ones pass on. I remember once when I was alone with a dying woman--or so I thought--and listening to her have a long conversation with unseen others in the room...and the peace it brought her. I could only hear her side of the conversation; there was only silence when she wasn't speaking, but it was surely "holy silence" wherein she could hear what she needed to hear, even though I couldn't. Sheridan Hill's thoughts on "holy silence" and the need to allow the dying to be present (i.e., not overly medicated) at their own deaths are insightful, I think, and worth the price of the book alone. Of course, simply being present, via the book, with Ms. Hill to hear her beautiful story is worth the price of the book, too.

Book Description
With the Twentieth Century just underway, the establishment of the Forest Service has brought change and upheaval to the intermountain West. Cattle barons who once allowed their herds to graze unchecked across the open range are now chafing at the introduction of forest-saving restrictions. With power and fortunes at stake, secret meetings and strategy sessions are the order of the day.Three people in particular are wrestling with the changes in the land. Ellis Burke, a cowboy turned natural resource specialist, is sent to Routt National Forest to oversee these changes. He faces massive resistance from the livestock companies--and a possible threat to his life. Cassie Waddell is the determined daughter of a cattle baron--determined to see her father suffer for what he's done to her family. She enlists former Pinkerton detective Stark Preston to help her wrest the family company from his grasp. And Preston has his own agenda: he's determined, for reasons that seem a bit too personal, to see Burke fail in his mission to save Colorado's native grasslands.

South of Eden is Compelling.......2000-08-09
I found Murray's latest work to be compelling. A bit confusing though. I seemed to loose Vivian Cross in the presence of her own fear. Or was it something real? The facts surrounding the time and location were thought provoking, and left me wondering what else might have been drawn into the area to develop it's sense of respect among it's citizens. Many bad people were in charge, and only through participation in like evil did there seem to be a way to rise above it. Couldn't set it down for long though.

Exciting environmental historical mystery.......2000-08-06
Western Colorado's Rouett Natinonal Forest has been a source of free grazing land for the local ranchers and companies since just after the Civil War. Four decades of unchecked grazing with seemingly nothing returned to the land begins to worry the Feds. The newly formed Forest Service sends Yale graduate Ellis Burke to the Eden District to enforce the new regulations.
Ellis soon learns the ranger he replaced mysteriously vanished. He already has an idea as to who might want him to join his predecessor. However, Ellis' arrival provides a focal point for two opposing camps ready to do anything, perhaps even kill to defend their side. The ranchers mistrust Washington and want the previous arrangement reinstated. The environmentalists demand Burke enforce conservation rules. Caught in the middle, the already preoccupied Ellis is attracted to the daughter of one of the moguls and also hunts for a serial killer eviscerating women.
SOUTH OF EDEN is one of those novels that could have been a classic tale. The concept of an early twentieth century dispute between environmentalists and ranchers is intelligently laid out and makes for a great story. The problem is that Earl Murray adds to many dark and grisly subplots that add nothing to the main story line. Additionally, all the key players including Burke have ignoble pasts that leave the reader wondering if this part of the Rockies is a magnet for lowlifes. Though the main story line is an intriguing well-written winner, the overall novel is an example of when the sum of the parts fails to equal the whole.
