    There were many times my heart was practically pounding out of my chest. As my first dive into Punjabi lore I had no idea what to expect, and after the first chapter I was beating myself up for taking so long to start it.

    The River’s Daughter is a beautiful and haunting tale of feminine rage and rebellion against oppressive patriarchal regime. I went through a whole range of emotions throughout the span of this story, going from near tears to kicking my feet in air.

    Though the end section felt a bit rushed in a way (not that I can think of any other way it should have been done), I genuinely enjoyed every minute of this story. I’m a girlie who will always love stories connected to the water and this is a truly special one that I wish more people knew about.

    I’m obsessed. I don’t think it’s too early to say that this is one of my top reads for the year. Thank you so much to the author for the eARC in exchange for my honest review. This was my first book by R.A. Moreau and I can confidently say I’m eager to read more.

    I’ve been on a roll recently. All the books I’ve been reading in the past weeks have been amazing pieces of fantasy and romance but they have also been emotionally taxing in a way I usually try to avoid back-to-back. This book was exactly what I needed times a million.

    The relationship between Iris and Elliott was something I couldn’t get enough of from their very first interaction. I loved their banter and how down bad for he was. Ugh I could rave about this forever.

    I’m probably going to edit this book at another time when I’ve probably established all my thoughts but I just needed to get this out for now.

    A big thank you to BookSirens and Punita Rice for the opportunity the read this book. I’m a day late but I still wanted to get my thoughts out because I love this story.

    While it’s short and sweet, The River Goddess is a great precursor story to The River’s Daughter, focusing on the origin of Naga’s bloodline and the differing communities we were introduced to in the first book.

    I really loved Naga’s character, not because she was a great person, but because she wasn’t. She was a selfish and fickle goddess who did what she wanted when she wanted for her own amusement. She did very kind things for mortals on her time on earth but those things remained true about her character. I wasn’t as emotionally invested as I was with the main book, but I think that’s ok in a book that serves more to expand on the lore of the world.
