Book Reviews of Heir to Sevenwaters
Book Review: A great return
Summary: 4 Stars
I first read the Sevenwaters trilogy about three years ago, and I loved them every step of the way. When I heard we were going to be able to return to that world through Heir I was thrilled, and Ms. Marillier did not disappoint.
The heroine Clodagh, third daughter of Sean of Sevenwaters, is a resourceful and smart girl with amazing skills at running a household and not so much for adventure. But all that changes when her new brother is stolen and a wooden changeling left in his place.
From here Ms. Marillier weaves a very compelling story by taking the reader into the otherworld, somewhere that hadn't been explored in any of the other books. It was amazing how familiar and foreign it seemed in the same breath. The new villain, Mac Dara, is crafty, creepy and intriguing at the same time.
I really liked revisiting all the familiar places and characters. My hopes for future books (if there are more to come) would be one told from Cirian's point of view. He seems to be one of the most complex characters in the books, whom we've had little interaction of real substance with.
If you enjoyed the first three Sevenwaters books, this one will be no exception. If you haven't read them before, Heir to Sevenwaters works as a standalone, although you may not catch all of the references to previous books. Either way, I would say this book is more than worth the money you'll spend on it.
