Nothing I haven't read before, but it's adventurous and imaginative. Fantasy worlds struggle with global warming too. Author handles tragedy with a level hand & the explaining of the world's religions, politics and economy never gets tiring or overly ridiculous.
This book rocks. It's adeptly written. The world lives and breathes, as do the characters. If I hadn't already set up the rest of my TBR list through the rest of the year, I'd be going straight onto the next book. In many ways, this first book is a coming of age story for the waterless boy who was o...
In a world wehre there is little water, water is currency, life, and the magic of this world is centered around generating and controlling water. Shale starts the story in a small village, at the bottom of the heap the power he has over water will change his life. Terelle is supposed to become a c...

I didn't think it would be, especially since it had a blurb from Karen Miller on the cover, and I couldn't make it to the end of her book.Part o...
Great characters, not battle heavy, but still with a sense of danger throughout. It's the first book in the series, so there is a lot of setting the stage, getting introduced to a lot of characters, but I never felt overwhelmed or lost. It also didn't "stall" in the middle, but kept my attention the...
What I always loved about fantasy books are the great worlds that are created. Fantasy writers not only have to create great stories and characters, but they also create whole worlds from scratch.
