Shoemaker has done it again. Looking for a great fantasy read? Mark of Four gives us Alayne, a young woman who can wield all four elements in a world where most can wield only one. The why to that forms the crux of the book, and provides a whole lot of action and plot to keep you turning the pages.
Shoemaker also gives us love interests gone awry, female friendships, the nemesis who may not be quite all he seems, on top of extremely creative thinking with her depiction of the elements and how one might "bend" them. I could totally see this book as a movie - the special effects would be brilliant!
If you are a fan of Harry Potter, The Hunger Games, Divergent, The Last Airbender, heck, even Narnia - any sort of young adult fantasy - I think you'll love this book!
P.S. Ms. Shoemaker, may I please learn the secret to wielding water now? It sounds like fun!
