I really enjoyed reading The Elementals. I thought it was very unique with a storyline that gets straight to the point. It instantly caught my attention from the start to the very end. The characters are very well thought out and relatable but have that mix of almost supernatural ability to make them intriguing. I really enjoyed Mia’s character and following her throughout the novel as she struggles to find her place with the Elemental and the Aether. Overall, I thought Michelle Knohl has done a wonderful job and I can’t wait to read the next book in this series.
