Praise for the Elemental Masters series
"Lackey's fantastical world of Elementals, plus her delightful
Nan and Sarah, create an amusing contrast for Arthur Conan Doyle's
Sherlock Holmes and John Watson.... The mix of humor, history,
fantasy, and mystery is balanced in a way that any reader could
pick up the book and thoroughly enjoy it from beginning to end."
--RT Reviews
"The Paris of Degas, turn-of-the-century Blackpool, and the
desperation of young girls without family or other protection come
to life in a story that should interest a broad readership."
--Booklist "All in fine fairy-tale tradition.... It's
grim fun, with some nice historical detail, and just a hint of
romance to help lighten things." --Locus "The action and
dialogue flow freely, mingling with beautiful descriptions of
European countryside and just a hint of romance.... A
well-developed heroine and engaging story." --Publishers
Weekly "The fifth in the series involving the mysterious
Elemental Masters, this story of a resourceful young dancer also
delivers a new version of a classic fairy tale. Richly detailed
historic backgrounds add flavor and richness to an already
strong series that belongs in most fantasy collections. Highly
recommended." --Library Journal "The Elementals novels are
beautiful, romantic adult fairy tales. Master magician
Mercedes Lackey writes a charming fantasy." --Worlds of Wonder "Ms.
Lackey is a master in fantasy, and this visit to an
alternate historical England is no exception. Vivid
characterization and believable surroundings are flawlessly joined
in a well-detailed world." --Darque Reviews I find Ms. Lackey's
Elemental Masters series a true frolic into fantasy.
