This followup to The Lightness of Water finds the now-royal couple Rhees and the water diviner Solace suffering a major blow when a woman from a competing kingdom arrives with an apparently valid claim to be the queen. Many complications and heartaches follow, as you can imagine. Of course true love wins in the end but there are major political and geopolitical issues within the kingdom and without that must be faced as well as the tricky issues that arise between the unlucky twosome. Always in the background is the climate change problem as Solace’s unique ability to find water sources in arid lands is critical to the population’s survival—were she to leave, what would happen to the people and animals? A good read is now also a good listen as told by a capable narrator and voice-over talent.

I really enjoyed this romance between a mermaid who left her small town in Wisconsin for far-away places to return and encounter again a high-school love, the werewolf who never ventured more than 300 miles from home. The sparks fly when she wins him for a date at a local bachelor auction. She’s temporarily running her dad’s business, the only 5-star inn in Wisconsin for supernatural inhabitants, and he’s not helping matters any. You don’t need to have read the first book in the Faeries of Door County series to appreciate this second one, because it is truly a stand-alone, but I found it deepened my appreciation. This book struck me as having more even romance than the predecessor, Half A Faerie, which introduced this quirky midwestern resort town with supernatural inhabitants including vampires and selkies. If you’ve ever been to Door County, the popular resort destination sometimes called the Martha’s Vineyard of the Midwest, part of the fun is trying to link the humorously titled locations in the book to real-life spots, and of course some characters in the first book return, including the mischievous gargoyles. It’s a well-written story spun by a warm narrator, Lisa Lynn Sandlin, who also voiced the first book. A fun time and a good listen!

This is an unusually well-written and well-narrated fantasy romance using the enemies to lovers trope. It struck me as kind of a beauty and the beast retelling. The author includes some plot surprises and many sympathetic characters as well as an evil ruler monopolizing the world’s most precious resource —that’s not gold or oil, it’s water! The story has a kidnapping and ably told fights and battles in addition to the strong love story and the unique magical water divining ability of the heroine. Enjoyed listening to it very much.
