I sat trying to write my review for a couple of days about A RIVER ENCHANTED, and all I wanted to say was, “I want more!” Seriously, Rebecca Ross’ book is the epic fantasy I have been waiting for. I loved part one. By part two, I was hooked. Then I couldn’t put down the rest of the book and kept reading until I finished. 

The book follows four people on an island - a married couple and two individuals who have been rivals since childhood, so y’all see where that is going, right? 😏 - as they try to figure out why the little girls on their island go missing. This community is so interesting, with each person having a role to play to help it survive. It almost gives it a Medieval feel. 

My other favorite aspect of the book was the magical elements of how Ross used the wind, water, and land as characters - as gods. The people prayed to them; they played to them; they were active parts of the story carrying messages and helping or hindering other characters. It was fantastical, and I can’t wait to see how Ross incorporates them into book two!

Speaking of book two, I know this just came out today, but any chance I can get my hands on the second one soon? 😆

Do I need to say I recommend this? Please pick this up, so we can discuss theories together!

✨If you could have the power of wind, water, or land to assist you, which would you choose?✨

Thank you Harper Voyager US and William Morrow Books for the gifted book!
