I don’t mind if it ends predictably, though, as long as I keep getting these same vibes. It is pretty obvious we’re working toward a reunited and balance island in the next (and last) book. I did find the divide between the two halves of the island infuriating. I really liked seeing how the people on the island coexist with the magic and it’s obvious Ross put a lot of thought into it.

Things were enchanting and magical in a way that felt half dangerous and half inviting. A River Enchanted Illumicrate SIGNED + This Vicious Grace SIGNED.

I really liked the atmosphere of the island that Ross created. There are elements here of romance, too, with Jack and Adaira (childhood nemeses) entering into a marriage of convenience, and with Sidra and Torin finding new purpose in their marriage in a way they haven’t before. The main plot is what’s going on with the island (the people, the land, and the spirits are all out of balance because of the split between east and west) and the missing girls. When young girls start going missing, the lives of our four characters start to change and intertwine in new ways than before, and old secrets begin to come to light.

The book follows four main characters: Jack, a bard who has come home to the island for the first time in over ten years Adaira, the daughter of the clan leader Sidra, a healer and her husband and captain of the guard, Torin. Illumicrate is the subscription box for book lovers everywhere We are dedicated to bringing you the best new releases and other fun things that bibliophiles are sure to enjoy. I found it a very satisfying, almost cozy read, but if you are looking for something with more action and plot, this is not the book for you. A River Enchanted is a slower-paced, highly atmospheric, character-based fantasy set on a magical island inspired by Scottish folklore.
