A River Enchanted

This book is more about the writing and characters than the plot, as little actually happens in the majority of the book. The beautiful writing style of Rebecca Ross keeps you captivated in the Scottish lore surrounded by the mysterious fae. The magic is beautifully woven into the story and into the culture of the Isle. I loved the legend and story of Joan!

I understand that the book started as a YA then eventually changed to adult. I do not think Ross pushed enough into the adult fantasy/fiction world. I would have loved more descriptions and scenes of the budding romance between Adaira and Jack.

I want more. I want more worldbuilding and understanding. I loved when the secrets came about and things were finally understood. The author's voice is cool, peaceful, calm, and beautiful. The tone carries through the narrative and makes the book captivating and lovely.
