I picked up this novel while i was perusing the local library for some summer reading. I was young at the time and didn't really read fantasy novels but once I started reading I couldn't stop!
The characters are really strong and you really feel for them especially the main one, Fainne. She is young at the beginning and you get to see her grow up and mature and that's nice. For this reason it may appeal more to girls than boys and probably young adults. However, I still think its a great read for everyone.
Juliet Marillier is a really good storyteller and her characters are very well crafted. After I read child of the prophecy, I went back and read the first two books in the trilogy, and now they're some of my favorite books. Every couple of years I pick them up to re-read and their just as fascinating as the first time due to Marillier's excellent writing.
I strongly recommend this book!!
