A review by jemini
Elemental Magic by Carol Berg, Rebecca York, Jean Johnson, Sharon Shinn

2.5

This anthology of romance-fantasies was an interesting and unexpected read. I wanted to read more fantasy by women authors so I thought an anthology could be fun. My favourite was Birthright by Jean Johnson because of how adventurous and charming it was. I liked the characters, and even if the plot was predictable, it was still satisfying. I think that Huntress Moon by Rebecca York was my least favourite because of the poor writing and intense, graphic topics. Overall, I wasn’t expecting it to be so sexual and romance focused but in hindsight, I should’ve realized it before reading. I think that the descriptions of each story don’t quite match what you actually get. Enjoyed it for what it was, but I think it just wasn’t my cup of tea.
