This book is really by Cynthia Felice AND Connie Willis, despite what Goodreads lists above. Deza is a con artist trying to pass herself off as a water witch, someone with a supernatural ability to detect, control, and communicate through water, which is a big deal on this dry, poisonous planet. But her con isn't going well as her father has just died and his spirit has been transmuted into this goat-like creature that is sending her telepathic messages. BTW, I liked this book about 100 times more than Light Raid by the same authors, and yet I give them both four stars. Go figure. Willis, Connie, and Cynthia Felice. Water Witch. Ace, 1996. Connie Willis is always a class act who finds new ways to treat traditional genre material. Water Witch would seem at first to be pure fantasy, but we gradually realize that all the seemingly paranormal elements are really bits of far future tech. A father-daughter team is running a game on the Tycoon (it seems to be an official title) in a desert city. The daughter pretends to be a princess with a paranormal gift of water divination. But then the game goes sour, and the plot thickens in unexpected ways. Characters are surprisingly nuanced, and the story has several satisfying twists. Fun. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Enjoyable enough book. Gets straight into some action without building up too much back story which I usually like, but did find it a bit confusing to get into.
Not a huge amount of depth to the characters. The 2 main ones got a bit more likable as the book progressed.
A bit of intrigue and some twists but generally predictable. ( )
