IR VERDICT:
WATERSHED takes an all-too-real issue, the preciousness and scarcity of water, and dives deep into the dystopian future that may await us. The book’s setting is both intriguing and terrifying, and author H.N. Deeb does an amazing job portraying it—not only through striking imagery and well-written prose, but also by respecting the reader’s intelligence and letting them infer much of what is going on. Against this backdrop, strong female characters take center stage.
