A review by jamiehandy
River Secrets by Shannon Hale

4.0

This series has definately grown on me. There are several things I like about it. First, each book stands entirely on its own. No cliff hangers, no unanswered mysteries. As I finished each book (The Goose Girl, Enna Burning) I honestly did not even suspect there would be another. And yet it is fun to continue on with the same characters. I am excited to read the next one as it just came out. Second, I like that the central characters are different in each book. I always believe that every person is living a story worth telling and it seems Shannon Hale certainly believes that of her imaginary characters. Third, all the books (although slow to build at the first) provide a definate suspense that makes you want to keep reading. You want to stay up a little too late to see how it all ends. And for me, what more can you ask for in a good read!
