The Wild Swans
This illustration is inspired by the fairytale "The Wild Swans" (Hans Christian Andersen's version of the tale) which has has a ton of variations like: "Six Swans" or "The Seven Ravens", etc. The basics of the story include a widowed King with 7 to 12 children and an evil stepmother that curses all of the children except the youngest daughter into swans. To save her brothers the youngest is given a terrible task involving nettles. My favorite retelling of this fairytale is easily 'Daughter of the Forest' by Juliet Marillier (I would recommend it for an older teens/adult fiction audience). Have any of you ever read it? Or let me know your favorite version of the fairytale I am always looking for more! :D

"She had sacrificed her childhood to save her brothers; she loved her family above all else, and her spirits yearned to return home once more, to the wild forest and the land of mystic tales and ancient spirits whence he had taken her. That was the place of her heart, and if he loved her, he must let her go."

I would not wish such a love on anyone, man or woman, for it can make your life a paradise, or it can destroy you utterly

Quote
"I think of the seven of us as the parts of one body. We may be torn asunder, and it may seem as if there is no tomorrow for us. We may each travel our own path, and we may fall and be broken and mend again. But in the end, as surely as the sun and moon make their way across the arch of the heavens, the strength of one is the strength of seven. Don't forget what our mother said, as she lay dying. We must touch the earth, we must look into the sky and feel the wind. Like pools in the same stream, we must meet and part and meet again. We belong to the flow of the lake and to the deep beating heart of the forest."
Juliet Marillier, Daughter of the Forest

Fantasy book readers please help me out. I've recently started reading "Daughter of the forest" by Juliet Marillier.
SPOILERS AHEAD:
I've come up to the r*pe scene and haven't been able to go on ever since (that's kind of a big trigger for me).
Now I have a few questions:
1. Am I to expect other ones in the same book?
2. I had in mind to read the two following books, too ( Son of the Shadows and Child of the Prophecy), do they contain any?
3. Next in line was Mists of Avalon, is that clear of those?
I'm sorry I don't know if this is a weird request but if I have to read any I wanna be ready 'cause that one really threw me off, I kept expecting she was gonna be saved or end up k*lling them before it was too late.

End of year book ask: 2 & 6?
2. Did you reread anything? What?
Yes. I reread the following, in order:
Daughter of the Forest by Juliet Marillier
Liked it even more this time. I believe it's an all time favourite even though it unfortunatelly has a 20 something year old getting involved with a 16 year old... seems like I can't escape these in old fantasy books. But the fact that this was the author's first published book is very impressive. The writing style is beautiful and the relationship between the siblings really emotional and believable.
Son of the Shadows by Juliet Marillier
This one was a disappointment. I believe I once liked in better than the first book, mentioned above. Young me loved angsty emo love interests and special not like other girls main characters. Both things I despise now.
Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins
I was supposed to reread these books closer together but it seems like it will be one book every year. Mockingjay will be next year then. Unfortunately this reread didn't go as well as the reread of the first book. The book is way more fast paced than I remember, especially in the arena, and it is way less emotionally impactful than what seemed to me the first time. I remember tearing up and I felt nothing this time. I had not enough time to connect with the new characters. It just moved too fast!
The Blade Itself and Before They Are Hanged by Joe Abercrombie
I was hoping to finish Last Argument of Kings too before the end of the year, especially because I am listening to them on audio, but it seems like I will not be able to do that since I am not even halfway though. It really is my least favourite book of the trilogy even though I appreciate what it's doing.
The Forgotten Beasts of Eld by Patricia A. McKillip
I needed a reminder of why I love this author, after 2 disappointments. I didn't love this book as much as I did the first time, but it's still a favourite. I think it was one more case of right book at the right time though. The author wrote so much that depending on how it goes with more of her books I will decide if I keep her in my favourite authors or not.
The Case Study of Vanitas by Jun Mochizuki vols. 1 to 6
I really needed to refresh my memory. Funny how I remember Pandora Hearts way better. Even though I really like this manga, PH has more characters I love and it was more mysterious. I am still waiting for a.big twist and turn like it happened in PH. Even though VnC had some twists none feel as big as the ones in that series. Still, those twists happened more towards the middle and end so Vanitas still has a lot of volumes to prove it's worth.
6. Was there anything you meant to read, but never got to?
So many books! Including ones I have on pause. I am a mood reader and that means that if I am not in the right mood I am not continuing whatever I am reading and I don't follow my lists, even though I make a lot of them. I love making lists but I am not good at following them. Some of the books I planned to read will be for next year and others will probably have to wait a bit longer or maybe I will not even get to them. It's just how I work because reading is an hobby and should be enjoyable at all times.
Thank you for the ask 😀

"I found the tears pouring down my cheeks, all the tears I had not shed before, a flood of weeping that racked my whole body, and I stood with my head against the trunk of a willow and beat my fists against its bark until my hands bled. If I could have screamed my anguish I would have done, until the whole valley echoed with my pain. I stood there a long time. At last I sank to the ground by the great willow and covered my face with my hands. My shoulders were shaking, and my nose was running, and the tears would not stop. If I sat there long enough, perhaps I would become part of this tree, a weeping tree-girl that cried each night by the water. Perhaps I would vanish into the soft earth of the river bank, and in my place reeds would grow, slender and silver-grey, and if a man fashioned a pipe from these reeds, it would sing 'too late, too late'."
—Juliet Marillier
