A River Enchanted

It has been a long time since I've felt that a book or a story was truly beautiful, but A River Enchanted was absolutely beautiful in every way! Rebecca Ross' writing style is one of the most lyrical I've ever read, and her storytelling is phenomenal! I can't think of anything I didn't like about this book. The plot, world, and magic were all very unique and fresh, which I appreciated. The imagery used to describe the world was excellent. There is a romantic element in the story, but I wouldn't say it is at the forefront. For me it was more more of an undertone that added depth to the overall story. There were however moments of tension which were very nice and well-written. We get multi-POV, which I am a sucker for! We get the POV of a married couple who are trying to recover after a traumatic event, and I loved how she wrote them rebuilding and repairing that relationship. It was one of my favorite elements in the book. There is a twist that I did not see coming at all, which is always fun. I don't like when a story is too predictable and this wasn't. Basically, I need everyone to read this and tell you every thought because I loved it so much! This is an adult fantasy novel but I say 16+ for themes and mild violence.
