War between Bayern and Tira is finally over. To cement the peace with their old sworn enemies, a group from each kingdom will cross to the other for a 'season of friendship'. At first all is well, but mysterious events in the Tiran capital arouse the suspicions and anger bubbling just beneath the surface. Enna's friend Razo must find out who is masterminding these events, before it's too late, and they find themselves trapped in the heart of Tira as war breaks out.
River Secrets is an excellent addition to this series with a character all its own. Razo, as readers will know, has a sense of humor, and it carries over into the text to make River Secrets the funniest book so far. Tempering the lightheartedness, however, is a real sense of danger as Razo must navigate the capital and its inhabitants, deciding who is friend, who is foe, and who is setting people on fire. Readers get to follow his growth and a potential romance, as well as explore an entirely new city with new customs and traditions. Hale is continually coming up with new ideas for her world, and they are always exciting. This is my personal favorite of the series.
