Along the way, the novel picks up typical fantasy tropes. A fellowship is formed to protect the young girl; they encounter strange villages with stranger micro-cultures; a great darkness lurks in the background and sends out its agents to attack. But these aren't ideas to take at face value. Tepper plays with identity and social perception on multiple levels with her characters, and it's clear they're not the plucky representatives of good against an onslaught of evil. They're mostly pawns in a game they (or even those great forces of evil) don't understand.
But for all its magic, mystery and tantalizing excitement, THE WATERS RISING can be a tedious read. It's a long tale, and most of the page is taken up by dialogue sometimes blatantly expository and other times seemingly pointless. This isn't damning in and of itself, but it does detract from the central mystery of the novel. The specter of this world's past (our future) would have been better explored by dynamic action than almost constant conversation.
However unbalanced THE WATERS RISING may be, it's an intriguing play on both fantasy and sci-fi dramas. It toys with the tropes that define the genres and questions their mutual exclusivity. As a novel of ideas and as a conceptual experiment, this is a world worth exploring.
