A River Enchanted by Rebecca Ross

2.5

 

An Adult Fantasy that follows Jack, who is called back to his childhood home of the Isle of Cadence, as he as a bard is the only one who can speak to the elemental spirits that the islanders think are behind a string of recent missing girls.

This book was… okay. The pacing is definitely off, since it takes so long for anything of note to happen. I personally felt pretty bored for most of this, and didn’t connect to any of the characters. I also didn’t really care about the situation regarding the clans fighting, and would’ve wanted more of the spirits and the magical elements to be more prevalent in the story. It overall felt pretty meandering, and because I wasn’t super interested in the final reveals, I’m not going to be reading the sequel.
