Sarah's Reviews > The River of No Return

This book features solid writing, compelling characters, and an extremely tempting premise. Unfortunately...it's not finished.

I don't simply mean that it's a cliffhanger, or a book with some loose ends--it is half of a novel. And it's impossible to judge a book that hasn't bothered to do any of the heavy lifting associated with successfully wrapping up a story.

There was a lot to like in it, and I'll probably read the sequel. Maybe everything will be resolved in the next book and I will be in fully love with this series and world. It's possible. But for now, I consider this book to be seriously unfinished business and can't recommend it despite its many strengths.
