About this listen
The only thing more dangerous than divining for water is falling in love with the enemy…

****2022 Gold Medal - Best Fantasy Romance - Global Book Awards
Solace is beautiful, strong-willed, and called the water witch by her neighbors. She divines for water in the arid hills of her home—a dangerous pastime across the border, where the king controls access to all the water.
Rhees is brooding, bitter, and hiding a deadly secret. But he’s determined to find a way to help the thirsty people of his land—even if it means kidnapping the last living water diviner.
But divining for water is against the law, punishable by death. Should Solace risk everything—including her heart—in a daring race to find water, or flee across the hills at her first chance of escape?
If you love warring kingdoms, strong, sassy heroines, and clean enemies-to-lovers romance, discover Water Witch, a complete romantic fantasy series for fans of Shari L. Tapscott, Kenley Davidson, and Melanie Cellier.
**Content Note: The Lightness of Water depicts an assault on Solace in which her blouse is ripped by her assailant**

Interesting premise, flat characters
The performance was very “Minnesota” which worked for some of the characters. The characters don’t have much depth and the dialog is full of verbal cliches that get distracting after a while. The premise is interesting and I wish the author would have dug more into the magic system of the water divining and promoted character growth through that unique aspect of the story

Fun story!
I thought the story was quite interesting with Solace basically being able to sense water in the ground so her ability helps others know where to dig wells. Unfortunately, a tyrant rules the kingdom next to hers and now Rhees is trying to help free his countryman from the dictates and taxes of the evil king so he kidnaps Solace.
I love watching them both grow and see the good and bad in each other. I feel like the story was fairly believable because of them both seeing the other's faults then realizing that good can be found in anyone and everyone if you only look as they work to help free the country from the tyrant, finding freedom and friendship in some of the most unlikely places.
This is the second story I've listened to with Sandlin as the narrator and she is definitely one I will look for in future audiobooks!

Engaging Fantasy
This was my first experience with this author's work, and I was very entertained by it. Once the audiobook started, I was so enmeshed in the story that I listened to the whole audiobook in one sitting. I admired the worldbuilding. I liked the romantic fantasy as it was based on one of my favorite tropes that of enemies-to-lovers. I liked the characters as they were both strong and driven to succeed in their individual goals. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series. I thought Lisa Lynn Sandlin's narration was great, and her performance kept my attention. I was given a copy of the audiobook. I volunteered, without financial gain, to post this review which reflected my honest opinions regarding this audiobook.
