Reviews of River Magic

I’m not entirely sure what to classify this book.

And I’m not entirely sure how to share my feelings on this book.

The book was long and drawn out, but not in a bad way.

It was a good read. Enjoyable. But it was really long and nothing of pure interest got my attention until the end. Literally, the last 4-5 pages of the end.

That is where I got hooked and will be grabbing the next book to see how it continues.

There wasn’t drama, action, suspense. It just was. It was a story of two girls. It was a good story about two girls, but not with a lot of the normal book “stuff”.

It is something I would read again and as I mentioned, I will be picking up the next book (False Magic) to see what happens in the continuation because I have grown to care for these two girls.

Overall, because I did like the story and I did become attached to the girls and because I am dying to know what happens, I give this book a 3.5-4 rating out of 5.

When I first received this book to read, I was a little hesitant. I typically love the historical fiction genre, but I was a little caught off guard with some changes to history. That being said, I kept reading the book, and I was pleasantly surprised at how much I really enjoyed the story of Aimee and Brenda, two teenage orphans that got caught up in something much larger than they could have predicted. I enjoyed the quick-moving nature of the book as well as the changes in perspectives as the narrative changed from one character to the next. I did find that the two main characters were written very similarly at first, and it was hard to distinguish (and remember) which was which, but it got easier as I got to know their personalities a bit more in the book. This book is a part of a larger series, but it is not necessary to read all of them to understand what happens in this one book. Overall, it is a great and intriguing read, and I would recommend it to many readers.
