I liked this book more after re-reading it. The writing style kept me engaged and the plot was interesting. I liked the characters and the their relationships.

Six of Crows meets Welsh folk tales in this short YA standalone. The last water diviner is on a quest to overthrow the Prince with a group of misfits: a thief, a spy, a scholar, a soldier, a ring-fighter, and a corgi who loves cheese. I mean really, what is ther not to like?
Some parts of the story do feel like they go on a bit but overall the story was well-paced with some great characters and some great twists.

On the other hand, the audiobook narration was great and I really enjoyed the writing style and all the nods to Welsh mythology. There were also some sections within the book where I was fully engaged (like the cave scenes) and the ending was sweet, setting aside the overall plot. So I miiiight try Lloyd-Jones' companion novel to this one? But the plot and characters here didn't impress me.

Mer is a water diviner meaning she can control water and is recruited for a heist to help take down the Prince who had kept her imprisoned.
Nice interesting ensemble of characters although we only get glimpses into their stories and past. There are a few twists and turns here and there keeping it interesting. I liked Mer as a main character but found Fane the most interesting and wish we had gotten more of him.
