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.

This book is a breath of fresh air. Unique heroes that stray away from tropes yet have all the feel good components of romance you want as a reader. Absolutely delighted by this duology, definitely my favorite by Ross.

Would read this book again. I’m excited to read the sequel, I just couldn’t put the book down it was such a good read and very well written. The world building and characters were really interesting too.

A River Enchanted is a beautiful story that weaves a feel of Celtic mythology with the mysterious tragedy of missing girls. I thought this story was going to focus wholly on this mystery within the setting of a fantasy. I was wholly wrong. This story intertwines the initial mystery with mysticism, clan conflict, grief, healing, found family, betrayal, deception, and even romance. It is hard to describe the emotional rollercoaster that you encounter within this story, because it is so subtle and beautiful that you don’t realize it is happening until you see tears splattering on the last page. Overall a beautiful and unique story, and I rushed straight for the second novel.
