It's time for your curiosity to explore brand new worlds in the palm of your hands.
I cannot imagine a world where I couldn’t enter an entirely different realm by simply opening the cover of a book.
Born of Air……. Well….. That was….. Interesting….
So, I just finished the 5th book in the Elemental Origins series; Born of Air. A.L. Knorr did well, although it felt very short, had a very different tone and sort of just… stopped. This curiosity will be harder for me to express, I think. I hope you can follow my ever morphing train of thought here, Curious One, because by the end of this, I myself may even be confused.

Curious One? I hope you are here still, because I remain a bit speechless still. I was prepared to read another story line based on a 17 year-old girl gaining a power and learning control. What I stepped into though with Born of Aether? Whoa…
Book #4, Born of Aether by A.L. Knorr just…it just blew my mind.

So, I keep thinking that this series will get – even the slightest bit – boring or be difficult for me to continue to be immersed in, but I feel that it may be impossible. A.L. Knorr has once again done a remarkably beautiful job depicting the Earth Elemental – also knows as a Wise – in her third book of the Elemental Origins series. Born of Earth has gone beyond the salty waters and fiery passion of the first two novels, Curious One and I am imploring you to find this collection and get to reading so you understand my complete and unhinged curiosity about the Elemental Origins series!

Curious One? If you haven’t gotten the Elemental Origins series by A.L. Knorr yet, you have GOT to stop waiting! This series needs to immediately be moved to the #1 spot on your list of books to read!! I am very serious! This is the discussion about my curiosity for Pyro: A Fire Novella – the companion novella to Born of Fire.
So, I thought I was in love with A.L. Knorr already, but man, it has been notched up even more. I know I have said this in my previous discussions before, but how much more realistic can this whole Elemental Origins environment get??!

Alright, Curious One. If you are still with me for my discussions on the Elemental Origins Series, I am impressed! I have just finished the second book of the series by A.L. Knorr, titled Born of Fire. Again, the author has impressed me! I will admit to you that even though this one made me cry for a moment, I enjoyed the first book a bit more.

Alright, Curious One. I just completed the first companion novella which belongs to Born of Water – from the Elemental Origins series – titled The Wreck of Sybellen. I just need to say, “Whoa.” I mentioned this novella during my Born of Water discussion you hopefully read.
Okay, first off, I’m gonna say that I LOVED how it was entirely written in journal format from Aleksandra Novak (you have an idea who she is if you read Born of Water). It was a wonderful break-up from the main storyline that still held relevance and pulled you in. It also directly picked up where Targa left off in the final sentence of Born of Water; where she opened the translated journal pages to begin reading.

Are you ready for Born of Water, Curious One?
WOW!!! This first book in the Elemental Origins Series by A.L. Knorr blew me out of the water!! No pun intended! Full of mermaid lore, old shipwrecks, sea-life communication and a reveal of powers, I had the hardest time putting it down! The entire novel felt like one of the most realistic mermaid/siren lore versions out there.
I would like to start with the relationship evolution between the mother, Mira and her daughter, Targa. I felt a lot of angst when their relationship was sort of swapped. You read a lot of books with that role reversal when the characters live in a trailer. I cannot attest to that style of living, so perhaps it is the norm and I am just not as educated as I would like to think.
