I don’t read much YA, but this series was recommended by a friend, so I had to read it. The books deal with four best friends who discover they’re just a little special. Each one has powers related to one of the elements. Add some realistic travel experiences and an evil organization that wants to control the girls, and you have a gripping and fast-paced tale. I couldn’t stop reading!
This boxset came across my Facebook feed recently, and since I needed something different to read (I usually stay in the romance genre), I decided to take a chance (plus, it’s available in #KindleUnlimited). And I’m so glad I did.
It took me a couple of chapters to get into the first story (as I mentioned before, this is a bit out of my normal reading genre), but after that, I WAS HOOKED! I devoured each book in this boxset and have added the companion books to my TBR list.
While there is a romance angle in the first book, the stories mainly focus on the female main characters, how they acquire their powers, and their journey to understand why.
I listened to each one of these separately before I got the boxset. The audio is wonderful for these books. Here are my reviews for each story if you’d like to read them. If not then the quick version is that I really enjoyed all them and look forward to reading future books about these girls.
Born of Water (5)
Targa’s adventure is exciting and captivating. Once I started I didn’t want to stop. Targa has always known she was different but was never able to access that side of herself. This is her journey to discovering her true self and possibly true love too. I loved the characters in this book. I like how they develop and grow. Though the story has a good ending it felt like it was just the beginning for Targa. I look forward to seeing where the other books take Targa and her friends.
Born of Earth (5)
I think Georjie’s journey is my favorite so far. I love that it takes place in Ireland. A place rich with both folklore and history. I felt the author did a wonderful job weaving Georjie’s tale. Her attention to detail made it easy for me to imagine and I quickly got swept up in the story. It has a great plot with a few good twists and surprises.
I’m excited to dive into the next adventure.
Born of Fire (4)
Saxony’s adventure takes place in Venezia and I have to say the setting is perfect for her story. I love how the author builds her stories around real places and imparts some of their history and culture in them. There was a good amount of suspense and mystery to Saxony’s tale. Her element definitely fits her well. I enjoyed getting to know her and the other characters in this book.
Born of Aether (5)
Born of Aether is an enthralling adventure. It’s a tale of redemption, forgiveness and love. I enjoyed the twists and surprises in Akiko’s tale. I liked how the lives of each character were woven together and connected by something.
Once I started on this quest with Akiko I didn’t want to stop. I can’t wait to see where her new life will take her.
Born of Air (5)
Petra’s story is amazing. I really liked her character. She has a sad past but she’s doesn’t let it bring her down. Petra is very strong, compassionate and perseverant. I really loved going on this journey with her. I have so many questions. I can’t wait to find out if the next book holds the answers.
The Elementals (5)
It was wonderful to see all the girls together again. This segment of their story was full of surprises. I felt for Petra when she found out some of the answers to the question she was looking for. Betrayal hurts but Petra will have to decide if she can forgive and move forward.
The ending of their story was full of emotion.
I’m excited for each of them as the being their new adventures but I’m a bit sad to see them go their separate ways, especially Akiko.
I can’t wait to find out where their journeys will lead them.
Awesomely new author for me..loved this series, it’s got wonderful characters, captivating storyline and magically entertaining…mermaids, fire controlling magi, and earth magical. goes great with frothy latte…
This series quickly made the top of my favorites. A. L. Knor had such a creative, different twist on things & was so imaginative, I fell fast for her character’s & her world’s. I loved these books, each with their own adventures & mild romances, that were full of action & adventure as these teens all became heroes in their own right.
What a ride.
Abosutely love this series. Start it yesterday and finished it today, that is how good it is. It you like supernatural beings no matter what age and a story that has love, action, romance and great characters then do read this series. Sorry but I try and never leave spoilers.
