megpilcher 's review for:

The River King by Alice Hoffman
2.0

2.5 stars. This has been my second Alice Hoffman novel (the first being Dovekeepers). I'm not really sure what to think of Hoffman novels as I have not loved either book. I liked this one was better than the first though. However, I felt like the story was flat a lot of the time because there was too much detail of everything else going on instead of focusing on the main plot story. I also had a difficult time connecting with any of the characters. Maybe one day I'll give another Hoffman novel a chance but I'm just not sure that it's my cup of tea.
