Nervous Water: Elemental Wars Book 1 by Tracy Kornis a wonderful story that I hve read. This is book number one in this start to a brand new series writen by a brand new author for me to read and I can not wait to read the next book in this wonderful series. I highly recommend this story to everyone who loves reading about suspense and fantasy in their stories.

This was such an interesting fantasy-focused spin-off series balance to the first book in the original First Bloods that feels more Sci-Fi. It’s all the same world, we have a very significant overlapping character and yet we have a completely different experience seeing the world through Cora’s eyes.
This follows The Little Mermaid fairy tale but there are twists and turns that make it so unique…even how Cora gets her legs is so different from the original story and it fits the world and the characters really well.
This book has a ton of action and moves along at a good pace. My only “complaint” is that I prefer fewer exclamation marks, but they completely make sense…there are a lot of scenes with a lot happening so characters literally have to shout. I also really liked how TK distinguished communication styles for water-based creatures by having them “echo” and then those who had a single set of vocal chords spoke.
I received a review copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
This is one of the more unique retellings of the Little Mermaid that I’ve read. It’s dark and set in a dystopian world that I liked. It’s fairly short so it’s a quick read but there’s so much packed into it that there’s a surprising amount of depth to the story! It’s suspenseful and intriguing. I definitely recommend this book!

This one was a slow start for me but once it picked up it went full speed ahead. In the beginning it has a very “Little Mermaid” feel to it but several chapters in, it changed. For me at least. Once this book picks up it becomes fast paced with lots of action. I liked the characters, the good and the “bad” alike. I think there will be a lot of growth with them in the upcoming books. I honestly think Cora will be an awesome warrior type character going forward. This book was quite interesting and I’m looking forward to reading more about the humans and their way of life. Good read!
I loved this retelling of the Little Mermaid. The story kept my interest throughout and I found the characters well written. I would recommend reading.

Nervous Water was a very fun book to read! It tells the story of Cora, the princess of the Undines. It is a retelling of the Little Mermaid, but it’s still very different! I really liked the characters, especially Cora and Nicholas. The story is really well-written and it is fast-paced. I can’t wait to see how the story continues!

This is a second prequel and it is well worth taking the time to read it. I’m really getting to love this author and her style of writing. If dystopian is your genre then you need to grab this series. The plot is fantastic, and the characters are brilliant.
