About book A Chama De Sevenwaters (2013)

Wow! My Sevenwaters journey is over. There were some hits and misses along the way, but this was definitely a hit. I loved the story of Maeve and what she'd been through. It was intriguing to read about how she physically and mentally dealt with her injury. I loved her friendship with her maid and the tension and love between her and her parents. The ending surprised me in a wonderful way. I might have cried. This was the only book in the series that I came close to enjoying as much as Daughter of the Forest (which is a pretty high standard). Probably the final book in the series and personally I felt this was in the top three for me with Son of Shadows and Prophecy. Like Prophecy, this storyline pulled together a number of earlier threads and consequently the romance was relegated to a secondary storyline. That suited me just fine. Some reviewers disliked Maeve, I disagree, I enjoyed the fact that she was 20 and therefore older; having a character that was consequently less impulsive was interesting, though I felt given Bran and Liadden she could have a bit more bite, especially while in England. Given Bran's heritage, I find it hard to believe that Maeve was initially so hesitant and frankly I found it increasingly hard to care much about Silver who seemed to have no redeeming qualities other than beauty. As the novel progressed Marillier seemed to remember Maeve's foster parents' background which pacified me a little. (I also felt that given Bran resolute character, i'm surprised he had not tried to find a solution for a saddle with Maeve-he is a perfect strategist and consummate professional after all.) However, the narrative had a few more twists, and whilst some were a little transparent others were well paced. Ciaran and the sisters were interesting, though I wasn't totally convinced that Marllier had thought through the fate/geis implications. If the geis was inevitable then the conscious role of others becomes questionable. But I guess Marillier's strength is in the mythological/romance side of the genre so there is a tendency or her characters to get stuck in a rut. If your strongest novel was Daughter then you may be frustrated by the lack of all suffering womanhood. The sex scenes have become increasingly demure as indeed has the violence, though this novel is lively enough. I found the more ambiguous male leads more interesting but the family really need to challenge the 'well not all of the tale was fit to be shared' routine if they don't to keep revisiting mistakes from the past.I was glad we saw the Old Ones as well as the Tuath De and the range of characters was much more interesting. If you have wondered what happened to he raven then you need to read Marillier's short story.

And let the tears flow! The book ended just the way I was rooting for since the main characters were introduced, but my heart is filled with a bittersweet felling for this is goodbye to Sevenwaters.I loved Maeve, she is a character that comes forth into the story as a scared and flawed main character, deeply wounded by more than fire she has learnt to fight of cruel remarks and a dark future. As a reader I couldn't help but care for her, she is not naturally strong and fearless, she has to struggle each step of the way like any human being and that's what I love about J.M. characters they feel real. Reading one of her books is opening a window to this otherworld where things unfold right before your eyes, like the fine tales her characters speak off, you can't help but feel they're real, no matter how fantastic they seem. [spoilers ahead]I must say my biggest fear was that some magic creature would turn Maeve's hands right by the end of the book, like she says latter on, it would be too easy and deep down I knew J.M. wouldn't do it but after reading enough books it comes natural to me to always suspect a writer will ruin a great story with a too perfect and unreal happy ending. But no such thing from Marillier's book's, you get real human emotions and raw consequences. A roller-coaster of emotions.It's funny how a reader stars to know a writer, the appearance of the dogs was oddly familiar with a certain frog and I shipped Bear and Maeve way to early to be sure my guts were right.And Luachan... if I had read this book before I saw Frozen he might have surprised me, but knowing that a cheap love triangle was unlikely, the Hans moment was just around the corner. If a seer doesn't trust a man a man is not to be trusted, I learned that from Sibeal.Ciarán is heartbreak incarnate, that man chips away a piece of my heart each time he appears. Fimbar is a book ready to be writen. I want to see him get his happy ending as Sevenwaters chieftain. But I guess this is farewell to Sevenwaters.At least for now.
