The Lightness of Water (Water Witch Book 1) by Toni Cabell

adventurous emotional reflective medium-paced

3.0

A page turning fantasy that combines an element of ecological awareness and just the right amount of romance. Anyone who loves fantasy that mixes in a little reality will love this book. 

The premise of this novel is that being a person with a special talent for finding water in a world where water is scarce can be a dangerous as well as a valuable skill. The heroine finds herself kidnapped and at risk for her water-divining abilities in this well-imagined world in which water is more precious than oil is today. So the book has a geopolitical and ecological subtext but has plenty of narrow escapes, fights and romance between the heroine and captor.
