I'm currently reading a river enchanted, and I'm enjoying whatever is going on between torin and sidra more than the main leads😔🩷

Yes, I broke the rules by looking through fanarts before finishing the book.. but nothing spoiled, so yay!🧚‍♀️🎀

Jack and Adaira from A River Enchanted😌✍️🌸

Am rereading the book and in love with it as much as I've been the first time. I can't wait to get to the sequel and see what happens!

From now on when I ask someone to close the window I will tell them it’s because we can’t let the wind carry away our secrets.

RECENT READS: “A River Enchanted” (Elements of Cadence, #1) by Rebecca Ross

“I am but a verse inspired by your chorus, and I will follow you until the end, when the isle takes my bones and my name is nothing more than a remembrance on a headstone, next to yours.”

a love letter to elements of cadence

dear elements of cadence duology,

you’re the set of two books that rekindles a sense of escapism. with faith and a set of experiences so humbling. you’re the set of two books that choose nature’s balance, and essentially, share that the universe sends us challenges they know we’re strong enough to overcome.

pretty simply, the set of two books that hold my heart.

like a lovely soul once said: from my heart, to each and every one of yours, i humbly bow.

thank you so much for being here :)

jack’s reaction to adaira being in the west is kind of cracking me up he’s literally like

finished the elements of cadence duology by rebecca ross today and that was a lovely time. i find it really funny that the romances were presented to me as the selling point though (i really wanted to read a romance when i started this) because i cared far, far more about the plot in both of them.

the mystery in a river enchanted completely drew me in and the worldbuilding was charming and very very enjoyable. both books felt like folklore and like being told a folk tale, i could so easily imagine the magic coming from the pages. a fire endless took a bit longer for me to warm up to (ha), it was fine but i wasn't enjoying it as much as the first until about the 60% mark when it really, really took off. i finished it today and i kept bursting into tears in the last 20%!

the story in both was really really nice and i really enjoyed the characters. the romances, again, did feel a little lackluster to me? especially jack and adaira, i enjoyed their individual arcs but never really bought them as a couple until the later part of a fire endless unfortunately. torin and sidra felt much more real and i enjoyed their dynamic more, and them as characters as well. torin's growth in particular felt quite well done to me.

there were some plot threads in a fire endless that kind of felt dropped out of nowhere and that could have been resolved better (rab pierce anyone?) but overall, this was a really really nice time.
