A River Enchanted by Rebecca Ross
5.0
I may need to revisit this rating, as I feel I’m hovering around 4.5 stars.
First off, the writing in this book is gorgeous. From the very beginning, it was full of lines that made me pause: “He was tall and thin, as if he had been underfed for years, built from sharp angles and unyielding pride.” I mean?! THAT is a character introduction. This story just made you root for love in all forms: familial, romantic, friendship, and more. Am admittedly fond of Fey mythology, and this was such a fresh take on the magical elements. The myths within the story! Superb! Loved how they foreshadowed future plot points (will we see Jack sing for the fire spirits in book 2?
