Ooookay.  This is going to be a hard discussion for me to write up.  The first half of the final book of the Elemental Origins series, The Elementals – written by A.L. Knorr – I did not like.  However, the second half, or rather the last third and epilogue, I loved.  There was no set ending, which I was disappointed in until I looked up her other books.  She has individual series that further explore the girls’ worlds.  So, because of that, I can accept the way she finished off The Elementals.  With that said, it will take me time to be able to collect the rest of them; and the world she created here was beautiful and realistic.

I definitely want more.

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.

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.

The Wreck of Sybellen – Novella Discussion

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.
