The Wizard of London....

[kyrielle]

Well. The good thing is I read it. Now I can give it back to the library.

A lot of this stuff doesn't seem to belong in the world of the Elemental Masters. It felt mish-mashed, wrong, heavy-handed, and fakey. And it annoyed me a lot because it incorporates as main characters (moreso than the Wizard of the title) Sarah and Nan, two characters from a short story (said short story being largely incorporated here) that I loved.

But they don't. Belong. In this world. And their development feels forced. As do several other parts of this book. Okay read at any point in time, but - not right.

It's a pity. Next book.

I was wondering about that (just saw it in Booklist yesterday, have it on reserve at the library.) I was very fond of the Sarah and Nan stories.

Ah, well. Will still read it, but glad for the library.
