10 Years ago, Jack Tamerlaine left the small isle of Cadence to study to become a bard on the mainland. However, when girls start mysteriously disappearing, he's urgently summoned back home. Now he must team up with his childhood enemy to try and find them.
A River Enchanted by Rebecca Ross is a spellbinding and lyrical Scottish-inspired fantasy filled with nature magic, curses, and bitter feuds.
For me, what I loved most about this book was its magical world and luscious prose. Ross has a special knack for painting vivid imagery and I absolutely adored the inventive descriptions of the nature spirits.
However, this comes as a bit of a double-edged sword. I think because story focuses so much on the scenery and stopping to smell the roses, I feel like sometimes the plot itself gets lost in the background. As a result, I didn’t feel like there was enough tension or build up to the climax.
Overall, A River Enchanted is a gorgeous fantasy that interweaves Celtic folklore and family drama, and I think fans of Sistersong will fall in love with this one as well.
Thank you, NetGalley and Harper Voyager, for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
