Karyne (00:00:07) – Hi fantasy readers. This is Karyne Norton, your fellow book binger, and you are listening to the Finding Fantasy Reads podcast where you can test out a new fantasy story every single week to find your next favorite author.

This next story is going to split over two weeks, which I’m happy about because I think it needs time to really sink in. People of Water is such a unique story that drew me into the world Rachelle Nelson created, with characters living on the water and a girl who finally dreams of the land they’ll find.

Rachelle grew up reading fantasy novels and getting her clothes muddy in the pine forests of Idaho. These days, she still loves hiking through mountains and libraries, though she’s a bit less fond of mud. She doesn’t write true stories, but she does write stories about truth. Her debut novel Sky of Seven Colors released in 2023 through Enclave Publishing, and it’s a YA fantasy about a colorless kingdom. Stick around to the end or check out today’s show notes to see where you can find more from Rachelle.

For now, please enjoy People of Water by Rachelle Nelson.
