Title: a compex fantasy about good intensions and their results
Review: This is a very good novel. Basically, it could be called urban fantasy, allthough, it shouldn't be, considering that the action takes place in a small town in New Mexico.So, it should be rural fantasy, I think.This is not unlike the works of Tim Powers and James P. Blaylock.So, if you like them - give "Dry water" a shot.I found the main character sympathetic, allthough the romantic storyline was rather perfunctory. But the magic IS there in this novel, as are some interesting persons (not all of them alive), and the story of the antagonist, when told, rises interesting points.This book has intelligence, controlled lightnings and one annoying, though good-natured ghost - what more do you need?
