River Secrets is the third book in the Books of Bayern by Shannon Hale. I've already read Goose Girl and Enna Burning, and now I'm looking forward to the new book, Forest Born. These books are kind of like a series but are different because each book is the story of another character. River Secrets is about Razo, a scrawny teenager who is part of "Bayern's Own," a special army sent to negotiate peace with an neighboring nation. Razo feels useless and thinks he was sent only out of pity. River Secrets tells the story of how he does find an important role in uncovering the secrets throughout the nation of Tiran.
I really enjoyed this book, like I do everything Shannon Hale writes. (It makes it even better that I just met her on Saturday at the National Book Festival, and she is super friendly.) The story had lots of side stories that kept the book unpredictable. Razo is a really likeable main character whose weaknesses are real and easy to relate to. It's also fun to read these Books of Bayern because characters I read about in the previous books are still secondary characters in this book. It's just great!
