Daughter of the Forest

There were things I liked about this book and I did get caught up in the story eventually, but it made me really impatient as well. The original Andersen's fairy tale "Wild swans" used to be one of my favourites, but here the story is dragged out till the borders of human endurance and it was just too much. I do like lyrical stuff sometimes (McKillip), but this really wasn't for me.
