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.
