Trapped halfway between being a human and a fairy, in a realm where she doesn't belong, Rowan must find a way to create a family, discover her powers, protect her sister, and save the young daughters of her land.
Against all odds, Rowan trains to become a powerful knight and leader of the Knights of the Rose.

Yet the life she's created threatens to come crashing down when she discovers a crushing betrayal by someone close to her.
The Forgotten Sister is a sweeping story of family, heroism, and the magical powers that can save-or destroy-a kingdom.

This is an enchanting fairytale that quickly captured my attention with its wonderful storyline and strong characters. It’s a gentle retelling of Sleeping Beauty. In this case, there are magical fairies, a bitter queen, a horrible curse that causes much heartache, a hidden sister and years of endless waiting for them all to one day come together again.
Rowan is a fabulous and complex lead character. She struggles constantly with guilt and feeling like she truly belongs anywhere. I loved how strong she was and how she wants so badly to protect her stepsister. It was intriguing to watch her grow up, work on becoming a knight, get a handle on her magic and slowly start to look at circumstances from different perspectives. I enjoyed her correspondence with Prince Gavin. Every single character in this book was really thought out well and held an important part of the story. Maureen and Petal quickly became my favs as well as the fairy aunts - they cracked me up!!
The only downfall of this book is that I don’t have the sequel on hand to instantly continue the story. Each chapter begins with a countdown of when the sister will rejoin the kingdom and this book ended with about two more years left to go. I need to know if Petal the Powerful will succeed in her dangerous quest, what Rowan will decide to do when she comes face to face with the Fairy Queen again, if Ardal will once again find happiness, how the kingdom will act once Roisin returns and if Gavin will finally make an appearance. The sequel is called Future Queen and was just released at the end of February!!!
The storytelling reminds me of one of my favorites, The Goose Girl. It focuses on character development and has a strong young female lead who carries you throughout the book. I highly recommend this series to readers who enjoy fairytale retellings and slight fantasy. Take a moment to look it up, add it to your lists and let me know when you begin reading it!!

Woah.
That was a REALLY good book. I don't even know if I can write a proper review of it.
Usually, I don't like female protagonists, especially ones with traditionally male roles, such as in this instance, as knight, since it always comes off forced, and hyped feminist-ic.
But Rowan somehow won me over, by still embracing her femininity, while battling with a sword. Rowan has flaws, and struggles, and is by far not unstoppable. She wasn't the best, and she WORKED for what she accomplished. She felt so REAL, and so strong, and I loved her.
Rowan was truly the highlight of this novel.
Dalila Caryn really going to make my favorite character someone we only know from letters??? Dang. That takes some serious talent. I love Gavin, despite his flaws.
And basically every character really!
IT WAS AMAZING.
I can't wait to read Book 2!

The Forgotten Sister, by Dalila Caryn, a YA fantasy, is a fairy tale retelling with strong characters and a story that will immerse readers from start to finish. A retelling of the classic tale Sleeping Beauty; in this version she is Roisin, the younger half-sister of Rowan. Cursed by her grandmother, the Fairy Queen, princess Roisin is sent away from the palace to live with her fairy Aunts in a hidden, magical wood. Though she is only a child herself, Rowan vows to become a knight and protect Roisin, pledging her love, loyalty, and even a gift of eternal life (given from her own half-fairy blood) to her.
The bulk of this story focuses on not Roisin, who grows in beauty and grace but remains hidden - but on Rowan and her life as she endures years of separation from her sister at the castle. The kingdom awaits Roisin's 16th birthday and her return. But they and the kingdoms around them are plagued by the dark magic of Sorcha, the Fairy Queen - and Rowan believes the only way to stop Sorcha is to fight her herself. But her training with the Knights of the Rose doesn't stop her nightly dreams that it is she - not Sorcha - that will be the one to bring death upon her sister.
As the day of her sister's return draws nearer, Rowan knows she must make decisions that will help not only her sister but also her kingdom (as its future Queen) and others. She befriends a prince of a distant kingdom, Gavin, through letters, and their correspondence quickly becomes one of the strongest friendships of the novel. Undoubtedly the most poignant relationship in the novel is between Rowan and Roisin; the love they feel as sisters when they are young, and the friendship they feel each year when they meet secretly in the Fairy Circle is beautifully written. But it is the intriguing connection between Rowan and her Fairy Queen grandmother Sorcha that is the greatest mystery and powerful undercurrent of the novel. Readers will be drawn to Rowan as a strong female heroine and her fierce love and loyalty for her family and friends.
The Forgotten Sister may be a fairy tale retelling, but it is also a rich fantasy with unique plot twists that allow it to stand on its own. The Sleeping Beauty has been my favorite fairy tale since I was a child, and as such I have been hesitant to read retellings of it. But this tale did not disappoint me, instead captured and held me from the moment I began reading. Caryn has crafted a beautiful coming-of-age fantasy that will reach into the hearts of many young readers, reminding them of the strength of knowing one's self and the powerful, healing magic love can bring.

I received this book from @kidlitexchange to read in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. 🌟🌟🌟🌟 The Forgotten Sister by Dalila Caryn was a delightful read. It is almost a retelling of a fairytale in that the premise of the fairytale begins the same, however the plot twists and becomes a story like no other. A book full of emotions and soul searching. Rowan a changling child must find who she is by diving into family history and a Great Fairy War from the past, all the while searching in her heart what is the best thing she could do for herself. I do feel the ending was left open maybe a second part coming? I don't feel this book is the end of the story.

"There once were two princesses, sisters, as different as a mountain and the wind. Rowan, the elder, was as firm and strong as any mountain and equally determined not to bow down to forces surrounding her. Roisin was born under different stars, wilder and more changeable ones; she was more than willing to bend to the wills of those around her because she knew they could not alter her deepest self. The differences did not end there; where Roisin was a petite, delicate creatire, Rowan was tall, with broad shoulders and a strong back.
Different. The princesses were so different in everything from looks to personality to circumstance that no one would ever think them sisters. But they had between them a deep and abiding love. Where fate would keep them apart, they found each other, and where fate saw fit to curse them, they fought it.
It began as most curses do, with a broken heart..." (Page 1)
From the opening paragraphs, it is clear this is no ordinary fairy tale. The Forgotten Sister tells the story of Rowan, a princess with a stepsister named Roisin.
You may know Roisin by her other name: Sleeping Beauty.
Rowan is the forgotten sister of the title and the story is told from her perspective. This book takes what you think you know about Sleeping Beauty and turns it into a much richer story.
Rowan is not only a princess; she is a knight in training. When she learns her sister is being threatened by the fairy queen, she takes charge, training with the knights everyday so she can one day protect her sister and keep her safe. She is driven, courageous and determined. But like all human beings, she has her flaws. She gives everything she has to Roisin, never thinking of herself; she has trust issues and a few insecurities.
While I'm not discriminate with what I read, fairy tales aren't books I'm usually drawn to. To many prissy princesses; to much history; and always an end battle of some sort.
The Forgotten Sister is different. Rowan is real. She is a well rounded, well written character and I found myself sharing in her struggles, triumphs and insecurities.
If I had one gripe about the book, it would be this: starting in the middle and all the way through the end, the book fell short.
It started off great; a princess in charge of protecting her sister from an evil curse while also training to be a knight. But as the book goes on, Rowan starts to become resentful, angry and sad. While this is understandable given the circumstances, it made for depressing reading for several chapters. And when it wasn't depressing, it was long winded chapters on the history of the Fairy War.
There is a reason for Rowan's research into the Fairy War, but I feel like it was unnecessary backstory we either didn't need, or it should have been spread over the entire book, not held off until the last several chapters.
Despite it's flaws, this is still a well written, entertaining read by an independent author and an awesome story about a strong willed girl trying to find her place in the world

The Forgotten Sister is a Cinderella-ish tale that begins with the birth of the main character, Rowan. I won’t give away what happens just after her birth, but the story goes off revolving around this single character. Her half-sister, Rosin, is threatened by Rowan’s grandmother, Sorcha, aka, the Fairy Queen, which forces Rosin to be sent off to live with three fairies for protection. This causes a total meltdown throughout the kingdom, where everyone is just counting down the days when the princess will return. Meanwhile, Rowan is training to be a knight so she’ll be ready to fight her grandmother to the death one day.
This story, for lack of a better word, is adorable. I mean that in both a good and bad way. It’s a nice story for young readers who like mild storytelling without heavy levels of drama. If an edge is something you want, it’s not here. A lot was happening in this book, but most of what was going on was simply TOLD to us, mainly through letters. Many, many letters. And we never broke away from what was happening with Rowan, except for the briefest of moments. I would like to have gone into other POVs such as Braden when he needed to return to the Fairy Queen, and how he conceived her that he tried all he could to get Rowan to marry him, or read about what was happening with the children Sorcha was taking. Speaking of Sorcha, we don’t see her after the prologue, which, after a while, you don’t feel or understand the danger any of these characters face because the enemy isn’t being shown, only talked about. There’s no real urgency. Rowan corresponds with a prince named Gavin, whom we never see, and I started to believe that it was Sorcha trying to gather information, which would’ve been a real twist! Rowan was an all right of a protagonist. She comes off as the strong, in-your-face princess, who only wants to save her beloved sister. Noble. Yet, even though she’s supposed to be this half-fairy, half-human badass who can heal herself, she has to be constantly told she’s loved (and there are a lot of moments of characters always telling each other they love one another) again, adorable. But no matter how many times she’s told that she’s loved and treasured, and not a poison as her grandmother had stated, she still acts all emo and lets the slightest thing get under her skin causing her to cry and/ or lash out in anger like someone with bipolar disease. Or maybe she was being your typical teenager. The writing was decent; the editing was very good. Some of the word choices threw me, though, as well as the repeating of the same word. I’m a reader who enjoys a healthy dose of vocabulary, so I do nick-pick about stuff like that. All-in-all, this is a sweet story, one that I feel readers much younger than myself will appreciate. I believe the author has a bright future ahead of her.

Half human, half fairy, Crown Princess Rowan has never felt like she belonged. After her fairy mother died during childbirth, her father remarries and has a second daughter named Roisin. When Rowan's fairy grandmother, Sorcha, curses Roisin in retaliation for her daughter's death, the young girl is hidden away under the care of three fairies to keep her safe until after her sixteenth birthday. As the whole kingdom awaits Roisin's return, Rowan must find a way to defeat Sorcha and save her sister, all while dealing with her resentful stepmother and a kingdom who doesn't believe in her.
A little slow to start and at first I wasn't sure if I liked the writing style, but in a few chapters I was hooked! This was a unique take on Sleeping Beauty and I really enjoyed it. There are so many strong women in this book, from Rowan to Maureen to Pearl, and the author made me fall in love with each of them. The story is not as straightforward as it seems at the beginning; there are plenty of secrets to be uncovered and this became a real page turner as Rowan begins to unearth what really happened during the Fairy Wars. I loved the letter correspondence between Rowan and the prince and I'm very excited to see how this unfolds in the next books!

This is a bit of a twist on Sleeping Beauty - the Fairy Queen brings the promise of death for the princess, Roisin, by pricking her finger on a spinning wheel except the princess has an older, half-fairy sister, Rowan, who is to be the next queen. The "sleep" is more of a state of mind that the kingdom is in - always awaiting the return of the princess who has been taken to safety by Rowan's fairy aunts.
For me, the beginning was a little slow going, but I'm glad I didn't give up on this book. I really got Rowan's sense of humor even if she feels the other characters don't. She strikes up a friendship with a hopeful suitor, Prince Gavin, and a lot of the story is developed through the correspondence they send one another. The strategizing of how to save all of the kingdoms from the curses of the Fairy Queen are well done; sitting in a library reading journals leads to plenty of chisme to keep the story interesting in a telenovela sort of way.
I've already started the second book of this series, and looking forward to seeing how the world can be saved.

4.5 stars. When I finished reading it, I immediately checked when it was published to get an idea of when the next part will come out. I was completely surprised to notice Dalila Caryn to notice that it's her first book!
A+ on the effort. I really liked the characters, the story line was sensible and overall, the book was relatable. I am loving Rowan and Gavin's cute distance relationship. The was the characters are over thinking, misjudging and misunderstanding each other is so relatable.
I got very confused when the historical stuff came in to the story eg Sorcha's lovers, the fairy war details etc because I think (and I really hope) that it will start to make sense in the next book. I am looking forward to it!

I loved the trilogy, The Forgotten Sister, Future Queen, and Armored Mage. They are brilliantly written, captivating from beginning to end, with enough foreshadowing to keep you wanting to continue, sometimes finding twists that amaze you. I couldn't help but wonder how she thought of so many variables in the story to weave it perfectly through characters and imagined lands. A strong female character takes you on a journey through subtle life lessons, as well as empowerment, with magic, fairy, dragons, knights, witches, mermaids and so much more to fight a curse. It all works and flows surprisingly well. It is definitely one of my new favorite authors, now to find more of her books to read.

I really wanted to like this book, but I had to dnf 50 pages in. I had issues with the writing style, and I'm sure readers who don't mind stuff like that would love this as the story was very interesting.

I loved this book! Rowan has to face extremely difficult obstacles at a very young age. She displays an amazing amount of strength in a world where she has to question everything. Where does she fit in? What is her worth as an individual? Who can she trust? How far should she go to protect her family? And most importantly, what does being part of a family mean?
Filled with a great cast of characters that you can't help but root for as their stories unfold. I can't wait to see what Rowan does next!

This book is a Sleeping Beauty retelling but its not just an ordinary retelling, it has a wonderful twist that will surprise you.
I love the concept of the story. It still has fairies and kingdoms and set in the same period as the original tale but the Sleeping Beauty has a great addition to it. She has a stepsister that swore to protect her from the curse that was bestowed upon her.
Rowan, the main character is a half fairy and human. Because of her mother’s death, which is a fairy, her grandmother blamed her for the death that cause to curse Roisin, the sleeping beauty of the story.
This is a fast paced novel. I love how it has some countdowns in every chapter that depicts of the days that passes by. There were characters that you will definitely love and hate.
However, there are some parts I dont like. There are great plot twists but I hope the author will keep it hidden more to surprise me. I like it by the way.
This is a unique retelling and Im still begging more about this world. Loving the novel so much.
I will rate this 4 stars
