Some books it seems that they throw the magic into the story without actually thinking it through. I feel that Gaughen did an amazing job of explaining how the magic worked for Shalia and other Elementae and it wasn’t just there. There is just something about earth, wind, water and fire magic that appeals to me. Magic: I really love stories with elemental magic.I thought that Gaughen showed real character growth with Shalia on that side of the story. She would question herself on things (especially with some of the darker topics of this book) where we as women know its wrong but think that things will change. Shalia was, I feel, like a lot of women today who are strong and amazing but still have doubts on the inside. She wanted to be there on the front lines helping her people, whether they were a part of the desert or her new country. She wasn’t one to sit back and let events unfold. I felt connected with her on a personal level in that she is a women who wants peace and likes to be involved in the peace making. Strong female character: I really enjoyed Shalia and her personality.So here are my 3 reasons why you need to read this awesome book!
