The Springsweet


This is the sequel to, The Vespertine.  I've decided this is my new favorite series of the year.  A third book comes out next year.  

Zora moves to the prairie to live with an aunt after running from her old life.  She quickly learns that she has a gift for sighting water.  Soon is she is being hired out to help people find places to dig their wells.  She also meets a mysterious man with a power of his own.

Saundra Mitchell is a genius with words--she never uses too many or too few.  My only criticism is that Zora's voice seems too much like Amelia's (the main character of the first book).

Rating: A+
