Memory of Water: A Novel by Emmi Itaranta

Memory of Water by Emmi Itaranta is a speculative fiction and one of the first I have read. The writing is beautiful and the tradition of the tea master fascinating.

Filled with politics and the harsh realities of an occupied town with a water shortage the language held me captive.

Allegiance grabbed me from page one, and had me holding my breath, swooning and laughing.

Just knowing Charley, Reyes and Cookie were there for me in the AM, caused delicious dreams. To say I love this series just does not seem enough and while there will be no spoilers in my review, there may be some major fangirling and some fantastic quotes!
