I wish Many Waters had dealt more with the all-these-people-are-going-to-drown factor. There's that scene where Yalith's unsympathetic sister is in labor, and it goes hours and hours, and she pulls through, and it's a huge deal, and then it never quite gets mentioned that she and the baby would drown. I find it a very fine book overall, but I feel like there was potential for a masterpiece there if it had been willing to dig a little more.
In other news, I have not read Unicorns in the Rain nor am likely to, but man, this is not what I'd expect from the title alone.
