Elementary: All-New Tales of the Elemental Masters by Mercedes Lackey
5.0
I can't resist a faerie tale retelling, and this book is filled with them! I've read nearly all the books in the Elemental Masters series, and while the ones at the start of the series were quite clever, over time they have become flat and dull. Even the cover of this book is just a mash-up of covers of previous books.
But don't let the cover fool you!
By bringing in other authors and their takes on the world where elemental magic reigns, new life is breathed into the world Mercedes Lackey started. It was fun seeing some of my favorite obscure faerie tales retold within these pages, as well as touches of Aztec mythology, and delightful historical fiction.
This brings the spark of magic back to a series I had once loved.
