Rating: 5 out of 5

This week I’m reviewing book #4, Horizon and that will wrap up the reviews for the Elemental Enmity series by Christie Rich…at least until book 5 comes out. (fingers crossed)I have to say I’m going to miss getting to talk about this series. I was in love with it before but now I feel like it has become part of my regular blogging life. I guess that happens after 4 weeks. (sigh…Christie, Christie, Christie…I so need another book in this series. )Alright, enough procrastinating. Lets get to the review.This is a tough review to write because I have so much I want to say about this fantastic series but I don’t want to ruin anything for those of you who may not have started reading it yet. So I will be just have to bottle up my gushing about the awesomeness of certain events and be vague.It should be no secret by now that I am a HUGE fan of this author. I love her world building, her characters, and the depth of her writing. I’m not sure if that is the right word to use but what I mean is that she has a gift for weaving moral, social, and spiritual growth lessons into her writing. Her story telling is such that you can easily fall into the story and get lost in the entertainment of it but if you let yourself pause and reflect you find yourself discovering so much more.Rayla has had to fight for the right to remain her own person. She has learned that outward appearances tell you nothing of a person’s intent or worth. She has had everything she believed to be true destroyed. She had to discover and have faith in her own beliefs and has learned that the heart, mind, and body are very seldom in agreement. She is a character that I admire and love.I know I said I wasn’t going to talk about specifics but I just have to get one thing out. Hy-Brasil seemed almost like Eden to me and I couldn’t help but draw some comparisons and lessons from it. As I said before, Christie Rich has a gift for story telling that will whisk you away to amazing worlds and have you falling in love with extraordinaire creatures. If you haven’t started reading the Elemental Enmity series yet please do me, the author, and yourself a favor and try book 1, Five. It is a free download so you’ve got nothing to lose and you just might find yourself falling for a Fae Lord or two by the end.
