River of Shadows
by Karina Halle
adventurous
dark
medium-paced
3 ⭐
Overall, this was an enjoyable read if you're looking for something to not take too seriously.
What I liked:
✔️The Finnish folklore. Loved this take on the character of "Death" and the Underworld.
✔️Beauty and the Beast type storyline.
✔️A little bit spicy.
What I didn't like:
❌ Overuse of modern colloquialisms. Every once in a while is fine, but it was too frequent and became distracting.
Does end on a cliffhanger but luckily the second book is out. Will I read it? Yeah. But I'm not itching to jump right in.
