The Living Waters: 1 (The Weirdwater Confluence)

This was a very unique fantasy, different from anything I'd read before. Full of a magical sense of wonder, I felt myself pulled into the world and traveling on the journey with the characters. Everything was so rich and vivid, but it flowed without feeling bogged down or overwhelmed with information. The characters, even the side characters, were all sharply defined with their own stories, personalities, and interactions with the world around them. The prose added to the magical feel throughout the book, and I was enthralled with the world-building with the focus on the ecosystems and the relationship the humans and other beings have with the world. This was a fascinating and wonderful read, and I really enjoyed how different and unique it was.
