ELEMENTAL RUSH is a nice introduction to Johnson's new series. It's short, but it manages to set up this world fantastically. I will admit that it did take me a bit to really get into it, but once I did, I didn't want to stop reading.The story is about Adam, a young Sentry that eagerly awaits the day he is able to join his brother, Felix, to work for the Supremist. So, when his assignment comes in, and Adam finds himself having been selected, he is thrilled.He willingly serves the Supremist, thrilled to be able to work alongside his brother. Until they are sent to kill a group of rogue Elementals. At that point, everything begins to change for Adam. He begins to question his position as a Sentry for the Supremist, what his goal truly is, and if he wants to serve someone that is willing to kill innocent people.When the truth about the Supremist finally comes to light, Adam decides it is time to flee. He runs off and seeks training at various other schools in order to fully master his Air Element. But he runs into numerous problems along the way.ELEMENTAL RUSH is definitely a good introduction to this world. And for a novella, it is a rather complete story.Would I recommend it? Yes. It's an easy read, and you'll want to read the second installment as soon as you're finished with this one.
