The eastern clan, Tamerlaine, has a bountiful realm and abundant food but a limited ability to use magic.

Fantasy books, especially when not in the the young adult demographic, are often expected to let a complex plot, an extensively built world, and societal themes to take the centre (and I truly love those) but every once in a while some fantasy books like The Order of the Pure Moon Reflected in Water by Zen Cho truly rely on its characters and they definitely deliver. A River Enchanted gives you enough reasons to go with the latter. Some books really force you to decide what you like more: a fast-paced plot or a slowly-evolving character arc.
