With the previous installment being slightly disappointing I was delighted that the Sevenwaters series ended in a high note – as a whole the series is right up there with Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings, which the greatest praise I can give to a fantasy series. Although this is very different from those two old favorites of mine: not only have I discovered Juliet Marillier as an adult, each of the six books follow a different main character, a different female member of the Sevenwaters family. Their stories are filled with magic, romance, adventure and mystery and together they form such a spectacular world that you don’t want to let go off it. Even the installments I found some faults in were only disappointing compared to other Marillier novels and those set the bar very high.
