Undine by Penni Russon

3.0

I think this has the potential to be a much bigger book than it is, but I quite liked it. It's another teenage god sort of book, but on a smaller and quieter scale than many of the others. Undine is a teen who seems to be developing magic powers at the beginning of the book, but the perspective throughout stays very intimate--much more about how being magical can screw up your family and social life, but in a good way, not "oh my God, I have magical powers and my boyfriend doesn't love me anymore!". Good because, yes, it sure would screw up your relationships with people, and sometimes stories ignore that.
