It is a Diviners duty to drown and read the signs of the Omens. When a new king comes to have his signs read, one Diviner in particular will get caught up in a tale she could not see coming. 
I’m in a bit of a reading funk at the moment and I kinda wish I would have saved this one for when I got out of it. I just couldn’t get wrapped up in the story like I have been. While I thought the story was so interesting and was relatively unique, there was just something that kept me from getting totally swept up in the story as a whole. And the ending was a tad predictable to me … 
I am very curious to see what happens in the second book because this very much could have wrapped up after the first book ended.
