Series Review: The Suitable 'Verse by R. Cooper

Greetings and welcome to Reviews That Burn: Series Reviews, part of Books That Burn. Series Reviews discuss at least three books in a series and cover the overarching themes and development of the story across several books.

A series of love stories loosely centered around the political crisis that led to the current ruler, featuring oblivious librarians, crafty though loving kings, an innocent half-fae noble, a legendary outlaw turned conqueror, worried warriors, clever guards, and an infamous beauty.

Clear Your Shit: Why Is There A River Here? (Blue/Water Theme)

We leave the witch's hut quickly after a potion resupply. I hope she doesn't attempt to turn us into frogs for not taking her rather vague request. The forest is peaceful and we are lost in a bit of a haze until the roar of water snaps my attention back to the present and we come suddenly to a river. Maybe we got turned around? I don't remember anyone telling me we would need to cross a river like this. Heather and I exchange a worried glance. How are we going to get across this? We could try to swim, but I don't trust my limbs to get me to the other side. I slump on a rock protruding from the riverbed and dig in my bag until I come across The Mermaid, the Witch, and the Sea by Maggie Tokuda-Hall. Maybe I'll find some ideas in here.
