Over the past year or two I read all 6 books of Juliet Marillier's Sevenwaters series. Each book of the Sevenwaters series is a folk tale/fairytale-inspired historical fantasy book that is set in 9th Century Ireland, and that follows a different young woman within the same extended family (most of whom are healers and/or seers). Each book is somewhat like a different standalone "episode" within a larger story that spans 3 generations and that has plot threads that connect through the entire series. They are very well written, and my average rating of all 6 books is 8/10 (books 2 and 6 were my favourites, and book 3 my least favourite).
I didn't realize all of them were retellings! Right now I'm trying to track down matching copies of books 2 and 3 but for some reason it seems 2 is completely out of print in this oversized paperback. Looking forward to reading them all!
@@theteapotreads Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that they were all retellings - I just meant that the settings and fantasy elements are inspired by ancient Irish folk tales and mythology. I believe that only book 1 is a direct retelling of a fairytale.
Those books 📚 have been calling you're name meanwhile I have some chocolate chip cookies 🍪 in my room that are calling my name every time I pass by them. 😅 P.S. I liked that fly up action with your glasses that u did. 🙂🙃
