After a Northem invading party breaches Lamore Castle, former Chancellor Horace becomes more desperate to secure firesky as a weapon, so he intensifies his threats against Arisa and her guardian, Erun. As Lamore prepares for war, Arisa and Prince Takai are drawn to each other and find themselves working together to save not just the kingdom but each other's lives.

*I received an eARC from the author in exchange for an honest review*

The Water Catcher’s Rise is the second book in The Kyprian series. The series needs to be read in order.

With increasing political intrigue and romantic moments,The Water Catcher’s Rise is a great continuation of Arisa and Takai’s story! A solid five-stars!

I enjoyed this book more than the first. It only got better and better! After the event in book 1, Arisa was hopeful that things would change for the better, so she decided to stay at the castle to help whenever she could. Takai, finally able to understand her beliefs, decided to befriend her and tried hard to find common ground. But there were sinister plans to bring Arisa and Erin down inside the castle wall, as well as terrible threats to Lamore from the Northemers.

Generally speaking, this book had a somewhat different feel than the first. In The Firemaster’s Legacy, Arisa spent more time in Obira so readers witnessed the people suffering first hand, shaping a griever tone for the book. In The Water Catcher’s Rise, as Arisa stayed more in the castle, we got to see Obira from the perspective of the castle. I would say this book was the calm before the storm—everything was quite nice and beautiful, but you could feel the tension lurking around, ready to strike at any moment. Also, one of my main complaints of book 1 was that it felt a bit too slow for me, but The Water Catcher’s Rise totally picked up the pace and I love it! I read this book chapter after chapter. It was not too fast nor too slow. When things started getting slow, some emergency would occur and made me nervous!

The Water Catcher’s Rise also gave more depth to the characters. I love how they all had distinct personalities and beliefs and that they didn’t change easily. Both Arisa and Takai were willing to change after what happened at the end of book 1, but they still had a long way to go. If book 1 was for Arisa to learn her lesson, then book 2 was for Takai. He had the most hardship throwing his way—who to trust, what to do, and what of his feelings toward Arisa—and he’d grown so much through these events. The character growth was slow and subtle, but that was what made it so realistic. After reading this book, I found myself so emotionally invested in the MCs and side characters that I’m dying to know what would happen to them next! Also, a great part of the plot was driven by the past and secrets of some characters, and I love the idea of the past catching up to the present.

The other aspects of The Water Catcher’s Rise were also phenomenal! For one, romance took a greater part of this book while not overshadowing the main plot. The effect was much like the first book, only their interaction was a lot sweeter! Their relationship was slow-burn, beautiful, and undoubtedly romantic! It entwined perfectly with the politics, and these two elements drove the plot perfectly.

Another thing I really enjoyed was the magic! We finally get to see elemental magic at play! It was more magnificent and amazing than I’d expected. I’m totally in love with the magical scene. The description was also beautifully written that I can totally immerse myself in the magic. Though I would like even more magical scenes (I know I’m greedy), yet I guess it was saved for book 3!

Though the plot was a bit predictable (I’d more or less guessed the ending at the end of book 1), it didn’t diminish the joy this book brought me. The Water Catcher’s Rise was political, emotional, and magical. Very interesting and enjoyable. I can’t wait for book 3, The Air King’s Return (especially when it ended at that cliffhanger! Arhhh!!!!) ( )
