This is really bit changed version of the Cinderella.Evil Step-mother is also evil witch tooCinderella is also elemental magePrince is only noble, but he is also soldier and elemental mage, but he is injured in first world war and has also deep emotioal scars from war.And typical for this series Mereces Lackey describes in great detail how people live in time period described in book. So this time we get to know how difficult life were in England during war and how losing millions of soldieringAn entertaining read with slight pacing problems.I enjoy the books in the Elemental Masters series, fairytale retellings with elemental magic. This is a Cinderella story set during WWI. I enjoyed the main characters and the potential for their romance. Both Ella and Reggie have problems and it's satisfying to see them overcome them. I thought there wasn't much development of their connection, though.The villains were, in typical Lackey fashion, truly villainous. As with other books I could have
Much, much, too much detailed witchcraft in this book. So disappointing. I enjoyed the premise and loved the glimpse of the heroine from the first book, but I cannot get past the glorification of stuff that is scary and dangerous.
This is one of her largest books in the series, and is Cinderella set amongst the horrible backdrop of World War I. I love how in depth both Eleanor (Cinderella) and Reggie, her 'Prince,' a World War I pilot, are as characters. They have a lot in common due to what they have seen and experienced, and that, in my view, makes them highly compatible.Lackey's descriptions of life and war are so very well done, sometimes they are painful to read. She captures whatever period she is focusing on so
This one is a retelling of Cinderella. Again, I will have to complain at the lack of consistency. Evil stepmother does away with father... without making sure he changed his will?? Seriously? Evil stepmother casts a curse on stepdaughter (pretty gruesomely) to make sure no one recognizes her... while her godmother, a minor witch still lives in the village and knows what's going on - and does nothing? The Masters of London do not feel the taint of evil coming from stepmother? Etc etcAlso Ellie
Ok, M. Lackey has three writing styles. One, she doesn't like it and has to meet a deadline. Two, she likes what she's doing, but she doesn't have it fleshed out. Three, she has a full story and all the time she wants. This one is a number three. It's one of the longer Elemental Masters. It's easily the size of "Wizard of London" twice over. This is her Cinderella, set in 1916, between an English farmgirl and a wounded pilot. Both characters are fleshed out nicely. Usually the 'prince' in a
Well, Lackey has done it again. How can a book be so horribly written and yet such a page turner?! Great story, great world, great characters, everything I like in a novel, and yet I skimmed great huge boring chunks of it due to the poor execution. I'll keep reading all her books because they're like crack for a book addict, but please think about tightening up your writing Lackey! This could be so much better! I am also having issues with this series because she has started to flagrantly
