review 1: I love Barbara Erskine's books, especially the early ones. River of Destiny is her latest. I would have given it five stars for plot and creepy "otherworldly" stuff, for which she's wellknown. However, I can't say I cared for any of the characters that much, so it was not an emotional read. But that's neither here nor there. They say you capture a reader's attention through emotions; she does it with a slowly building suspense.
review 2: I found it difficult to buy into the story. The characters in every era were too far fetched. I can't add too much more without revealing plot details which would completely ruin any future reader's enjoyment as finding out what happens next is the only enjoyment this book brings, certainly for me anyway. By the end I began not

Thoroughly enjoyable. Maybe a slightly predictable storyline but I still couldn't put it down.

Alternating action from 867AD, 1867 and present day. Not a bad read, but not fantastic.
