A review by paperandspines
What the River Knows by Isabel Ibañez

Did not finish book. Stopped at 25%.
I didn’t love the FMC and I struggled with the first person POV. By 25%, I just didn’t care about either of the MCs and the story felt very slow. Also, magic is mentioned within the first 5% but then isn’t brought up again until 20% and I thought, “there’s magic in this? Oh yeah I guess there is.” That’s not good. That’s not something that should be so easily forgotten when it clearly is a plot point. This just didn’t work for me. Zero chemistry between MCs but then they talk about kissing out of nowhere.
