A dreamy protagonist in an atmospheric setting.
To the Waters and the Wild is a book that makes you visualize the beautiful setting the story is unfolding. Nature has the first role in the author's descriptions and her excellent wordsmithing sucks you into a mysterious -kind of medieval- world.
The dialogue flows naturally and I loved the interaction between our main character, Keelin, and the tall young man named Brian. Their sassy back and forths put a smile on my face and spiked my curiosity towards the back-story of this young cowboy.
I liked the way the dynamics of Keelin's family was depicted and I want to know more about the hierarchy of society as well. I got the impression patriarchy rules in this fantastical environment but I’m only going to be sure once I finish the whole installment.
All in all, I enjoyed the story so far and I found the writing to be beautiful but not too flowery. The ending left me intrigued and made me wonder what the author has in store for our little heroine.
