A River Enchanted by Rebecca Ross

5.0

This was a super cozy read. I loved the blend of folk-ish vibes and magic. The only bit that didn't sell me was Adaira. I wanted to like her character how I did all of the others, but her character stalled in development and never picked up again until the absolute end. Her and Jack's romance was okay, but again I wasn't super feeling Adaira. Comparing that relationship to Sidra and Torin's and even the slivers of Mirin and her mystery relationship, I just didn't feel the connection like I did for the other two pairs' arcs. Throughout the whole book Adaira feels emotionally absent and that did very little for me when it barely thawed for the rest of the book. I hope she gets explored/developed a bit more in the next one. Regardless I'm sure I'll enjoy it if it's anything like this one!
