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.

Wow wow wow. Killer. I’m so grateful I came across this book because of an instagram post by another favorite author. Truly fantastical and enthralling. I’ll sing this book’s praises all year. Reads like this give new weight to a five star read.

I enjoyed the story, it was a unique concept that is different than other fantasy stories I’ve read. I’m interested to see what happens next. 

I gave it 4 stars because I felt as if the dialogue was unnatural. It made the romance and relationships of the characters feel detached. Despite this, I still liked the characters and want to know what will happen to them in future books.
