It’s a good beginner fantasy read. I liked some of the character development and I’ll be interested to see what they do in the next book.

The book deals with these themes within a fantasy context and its not graphic but there.

This book was really fun. i enjoyed how the mystery unfolded for the characters. it sat right in the fun spot of being able to figure things out just ahead of the characters. i found the characters to be fun to read. each pov characters felt well developed and unique. the side characters did as well. i was gripped the whole time waiting to see what would happen next. can’t wait to read the next book. it’s been moved to the front of my tbr

I really enjoyed this book & had a fun time buddy reading it with a friend! I was not sure what to expect going in, but I was quickly was sucked into the story. 

In A River Enchanted, one of the main characters, Jack has been summoned home to Cadence from the main land to help solve a mystery of why the young girls on the island keep disappearing. He quickly teams up with his old rival Adaira to use his gift of singing and harp playing to try and convince the islands spirits to help the solve the mystery.

On Cadence, however, nothing is as it seems. Feuds between clans escalate, a desire of peace lies in a delicate balance, and the spirits may grant magic and give answers, but at what cost?

This was book 1 in a duology and I am so excited to start book 2 to see what happens next in both Jack and Adaira's stories.

I really enjoyed the authors writing style and the world she has created. I also enjoyed the multiple POV's of the characters so you got to learn more about everyone on the island and how everyone has a different idea about the past & future of Cadence. I will say the book starts off to a bit of a slow start but quickly picks up the pace.

This has to be the most beautiful novel I’ve ever read. Ross’ lyrical prose is unlike any other author, and I absolutely devoured it. 

Though the fantasy element is there, Ross slowly builds the world in a way that feels inviting and never leaves you feeling confused. The relationships between Adaira and Jack and Torin and Sidra were so beautifully reminiscent of each other, and they interweaved flawlessly. 

This is a novel about belonging and home. Is it your blood that defines you? Or the people you choose?
