Any pointers on how I could have played this hand better? Was the river raise appropriate?

It's an *absolutely* appropriate River Raise (a lot of times it will be no better than a Seven.)
It's a doubly appropriate Raise considering you didn't even get 3-bet. (and there was another call to trap for an extra bet)

Don't worry about the hand, I definitely think you made the right play.

Thanks John, I thought so. I'm not sure why 57 didn't re-raise. Strange hand.
