Summary
Fans of Patricia Briggs’ Mercy Thompson, Roshani Chokshi's Aru Shah, and Rainbow Rowell’s Simon Snow will be richly rewarded by this urban fantasy series.
She lost her life in the water. Time to get it back.
Karan is recovering from an accident that left her disfigured and amnesiac. She’s 21, remembers no one and nothing about her life, and has an irrational terror of water. Then she meets Alice: 17, fearless, strong. Bigger than life but strange and secretive. When Alice forces Karan to face her worst fears, together they unleash a much more immediate and violent terror than drowning. Karan nearly died before, and now someone is determined that she doesn’t escape this time. Will Alice’s abilities and her reckless courage be enough to save Karan? Or are they both headed for an icy death in the water?
The Feeling of Water is a novella-length sequel to Girl in the Air, in the Alice Brickstone series of fast-paced, magical adventures for young adults.

Fine, but will I like this book?

The Alice Brickstone series…
…is fun, polished writing,
…is young adult urban fantasy, also called contemporary fantasy,
…features a strong heroine, colorful characters, and a gripping plot,
…is inspired by mythology from ancient India.
Have I listened to anything similar to the Alice Brickstone series?
Like The Raven Cycle, the Alice Brickstone series creates a new fantasy world rather than relying on familiar tropes. In other words, neither series has witches, vampires, shifters, or werewolves.
Like the Simon Snow series, Alice Brickstone books feature a Potterish friendship trio and a magical school. But unlike Simon, Alice shies away from sexual relationships.
Like Mercy Thompson, Alice is a gritty kick-ass heroine with practical interests and magical abilities.
Like Aruh Shaw, Alice’s abilities are inspired by Indian mythology. But while Aruh Shaw books are like Indian versions of Percy Jackson, with children who are avatars of gods, Alice Brickstone books do not rely on gods or religion. Alice’s abilities come from an elemental power called prana, like The Force in Star Wars.
