Laurie Marks' Water Logic is not really part of sequel season, seeing as it came out nine years ago, but a.) it was a sequel new to me and b.) now that I have read it, I get to join the rest of the world in waiting for the hypothetical last Elemental Logic book! (Which in theory will be Air Logic, after Fire Logic and Earth Logic.

The structure of this book is in some ways very similar to that of Earth Logic. In the A-plot, Zanja takes a journey that leads to her being considered ambiguously dead by Karis, which will somehow lead to something beneficial because of deus ex elemental logic. In the B-plot, Clement of the Sainnites beats her head against a wall attempting to figure out peaceful solutions to ongoing problems that might not, in fact, have peaceful solutions.
