The Swan Maiden by Heather Tomlinson

(Forgive me, I know this isn't my group, but it was already on my bedside table. I can remove this if it's a problem)

This is a perfectly readable fantasy about a girl with a controlling mother and powerful sisters with cloaks of swans down, who get to go off and learn to be sorcerers while she learns to be a chatelaine at home. This sucks, until she discovers that she, too, is a swan maiden, and her cloak was hidden under her parents' bedding. This precipitates a marriage proposal from the local poor shepherd she's been crushing on, a trip to her feminist aunt's castle to complete her education, and a shocking realization that her mom is an evil *****. Entertaining, but nothing special, so NAY.
