This review is for the series as a whole.

I wasted too much time trying to read 28 volumes. If this story could have been condensed and stopped its repetitiveness (Nakia's evil schemes, whether or not Prince Kail and Yuri will have relations, and Yuri getting framed for some scandal, etc), I would have liked it much more. I just wish almost raping the female MC would stop being used as a plot device. This shoujo is from the 90's, and I still see that in modern shoujos.

Now, I'm not saying Red River didn't have its shining moments. I liked seeing Yuri go from a confused high school girl to a capable and clever warrior. There was a great cast of characters minus the evildoers (and Ramses caused he ticked me off). The love between Prince Kail and Yuri is sweet and forever dramatic (though often cringy; those two live for PDA). And whenever someone dies you really feel for them.

I wasn't satisfied with the story, but others might think differently.
