River Mumma
by Zalika Reid-Benta
A fun read that I flew through once I got into it! The start of the book really felt like YA, which I do not mean as any kind of insult, just that the writing style and inner thoughts of the main character felt more teenage angst than quarter life crisis.
I loved the way the folk tales and deities were woven into modern life, though it would have been interesting to see how each character continued to acknowledge them after the main quest was over.
While the plot kept me reading, the writing also started to feel clunky. Action scenes were confusing, and even in calm conversations I had trouble keeping track of who was talking or when flashbacks/memories merged back into the current timeline.

At least the Lord of the Rings referenced outnumbered Harry Potter references…
Also, just very curious to know… Do University Toronto dorms really have bathtubs?
