I enjoy lighthearted fantasy books that are easy to read and well written. Day’s Patience is just that.  This book is the second in a young adult fantasy trilogy that follows the story of a family of supernaturals. One of the things I enjoyed about this book (and the previous) is that these aren’t your typical modern story supernaturals. You won’t find werewolves or vampires here. Instead, you’ll get to know Lady Leticia Seton, an Undine who has recently been saved from the evil magical tendrils snaking through her brain. She decides to help her family learn about the death of her oldest brother, her attempted murder, and how it ties to the death of her new sister-in-law’s parents. In order to do this, she must leave her family home after decades of entrapment and learn to heal and trust herself. There’s no better way to do this than to be alone in the midst of her element, fresh water. 

This unique story offers intrigue and mystery, a little romance, and humor in Victorian England.
