Chronicle To Books Child of the Prophecy (Sevenwaters #3)
Child of the Prophecy is the thrilling conclusion to Juliet Marillier's award-winning Sevenwaters Trilogy. Magic is fading... and the ways of Man are driving the Old Ones to the West, beyond the ken of humankind. The ancient groves are being destroyed, and if nothing is done, Ireland will lose its essential mystic core. The prophecies of long ago have foretold a way to prevent this horror, and it is the Sevenwaters clan that the Spirits of Eire look to for salvation. They are a family bound into the lifeblood of the land, and their promise to preserve the magic has been the cause of great joy to them... as well as great sorrow. It is up to Fainne, daughter of Niamh, the lost sister of Sevenwaters, to solve the riddles of power. She is the shy child of a reclusive sorcerer, and her way is hard, for her father is the son of the wicked sorceress Oonagh, who has emerged from the shadows and seeks to destroy all that Sevenwaters has striven for. Oonagh will use her granddaughter Fainne most cruelly to accomplish her ends, and stops at nothing to see her will done. Will Fainne be strong enough to battle this evil and save those she has come to love?Be Specific About Books Supposing Child of the Prophecy (Sevenwaters #3)

I have thoughts, but mostly: I have ***finally*** read the "last" book in the Sevenwaters series! I've been putting this off for so long, for ~reasons~ but it was lovely, as it was bound to be. Full review to come at some point, probably.Third book in the Sevenwaters trilogy.Unlike the heroines in the first two books, Sorcha and Liadan, Fianne is not perfect and completely self-sacrificing. While some other reviewers thought this detracted from the story, I found her a more interesting and complex character. Fianne is the daughter of Ciaran and Niamh, with a heritage that includes the strength and goodness of the Sevenwaters clan as well as the darkness of Lady Oonagh. She was raised in solitude by her father after her mother's
6/22 reading for fourth time. Finished early July as I took my time and savored it. Every read and this was the fourth, I like this one better each time. I can pick up any book in this series any time and love reading it.[UPDATE] I have read this book twice and just listened to the audio. I listen to audios only when driving, but at Chapter 14 I could not leave it and go in the house so brought it in and spent the entire evening listening to it to the end. It had been awhile since I read it, and
*** 3 ***A buddy read with the good folks at FBR.This is not and easy review to write because I really enjoyed the first two books and very much wanted to love this one... However, I have to admit I was let down. Which is a shame, since I find Marilliers writing very enchanting and absorbing. I am new to her as an author and I was pleased to discover an author who is obviously well versed in Celtic Folklore and has a beautiful sensibility, possessing a rare ability to involve the reader
In the conclusion to the Seven Waters trilogy Fianne, finds herself the puppet of her grandmother, Oonagh in her plot to destroy the Fair Folk. Despite Fianne's inherent goodness Oonagh uses magic to poison her mind and twist her. She must find the strength to fight Oonagh's evil influence and end a war that has been waged for generations. Another good instalment to the Seven Waters series and the end of the first trilogy. I'm not sure if I'll continue. I mean is it worth walking away while I
In some ways I wish I hadnt read this book. Ever since I read Daughter of the Forest years ago, I have been in love with this series. I was so in love with the first book, that I refused to read the second one for years afterwards, afraid that it was not going to be as good and ruin the first book for me. Thankfully the second one was just as beautiful so I didnt wait quite as long to read the third one. So I must admit that I was disappointed with this one. Although I loved revisiting the old
3.5 stars. A fitting end to a fantastic trilogy. I loved the ending. Funnily enough, the second book was my favourite but Fainne had the most character growth out of all three women.Brought up in isolation by her father, Fainne is the daughter of a sorcerer and has powers most people couldnt dream of. Yet despite this, you never feel that she is at an advantage due to these powers. You always feel that she is at a disadvantage.I really liked Darragh, the tinkers boy. Less of an action man than
