Top positive review

wraps things up but leaves enough questions for follow-up series

Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2019

This is the final book in this series. The other first 4 books focus on four best friends who spend the summer before their senior year in high school apart - all abroad and secretly learning of their special affinities with a particular element, while the 5th book introduces a new character. In this last installment, the original four are reunited at the end of the summer to share their experiences, with the newest elemental introducing herself to enlist them into a what’s billed as a humanitarian project. When things turn out to be nothing as they seemed, the girls must come together to use their talents to protect their hometown from a destructive force.

This is the long-awaited reunion! I was a little disappointed that there wasn’t a better explanation of why these particular talents developed in girls who were friends. Did their latent abilities bring them together? The adversary in this book is a lot more fantastical than anything the girls faced in the previous books. There are a few surprises, and while this is the end of this series, there will be other series spun-off from this one. Can’t wait to start them!

Disappointing

Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2018

After reading 5 books by this author, the final installment is extremely disappointing. Th booked dragged at points. This was supposed to bring all the elementals together. That was maybe 2 chapters. Definitely did not do justice to the overall series.

Been looking forward to reading this since the author announced it. This is the end of the Elementals Origins series by A.L. Knorr, but thankfully that's just the start of this compelling series. We've read the individual stories of the four friends from high school who discover they each have elemental powers over one summer vacation, and we were promised a novel rejoining the four girls as they return from vacation and try to resume their lives. But we took a slight detour to introduce Petra in her own story, and ever since I've been wondering where we'd wind up.

Well, the final novel in Origins is here, and Ms Knorr has crafted a doozy. It's a fast moving tale, starting with the long-promised reunion at The Sleepover and barrelling through from there. Threads from Perta's story weave themselves into a corporate entity that presents itself as beneficial but are they really ever in these things? And it all winds up in a coupe de grace with the town of Saltford hanging in the balance.

Would not have expected this from the way the girls' story began. Couldn't put the book down, and the author leaves me wanting more.

Elemental Origins series comes to a smashing finale.

What do you do when you have the power of an elemental and it isn't enough? When you have friends who have the other three elements and it isn't enough? You will find one solution here in this fast paces conclusion to A L Knorr's Elemental Origins series.

This book segways from the events of 5 and then goes into the highly anticipated "guess what happened to me this summer". The excitement mounts as the heroens find a world changing project that only they can do, but things aren't always as they seem and all hell breaks out.
Knorr's writing is wonderful and she has created some unforgettable characters. Now that we know who they are. it will be fun to follow them to see where they go in follow up novels.

Books 1 - 4 can be read in any order, and book 6 is mostly a continuation of 5. So I would recommend reading the first 4 , then 5 and 6.

I would give this more stars as it earns my rare, re-read award!

Finally the truth is out awesome. I loved 🥰 how Targa, Akiko, Saxony, and Georjie shared what each of them were , then here comes Petra….. I enjoyed the whole series and this book gives way into each of their personal stories can’t wait to start reading the next series from each of the girls…. Finally !!!! What a ending. Suspenseful and kind of mind blowing. Not what I expected and exceeded my expectations. So well written.

Definitely recommend this book and series!!!

Even if you haven't read the individual books, the author expertly gave just enough to bring you up to speed and not too much to bore those that already read through each of the girls' stories. I love the interaction between the friends, the way Petra was incorporated into an existing close inner circle, but also how each girl kept their individualism and showcases their strengths.

The book started off with a fun-filled get together but picked up speed with lots of action, danger and showcasing very creative use of elemental magic. It was a real page turner with unexpected revelations towards the end which had me sitting up straighter and biting my nails (okay, if I was a nail biter I would've, seriously).

A.L. Knorr did an expert job telling an amazing story that will keep you spellbound. A book I can recommend, but to enjoy the full pleasure of the authors' genius storytelling, read the individual elemental books too! You will not be disappointed.

I very nearly quit reading this book somewhere around the middle. I thought the story was going in a predictable path and was pretty upset about that, thinking the author was selling out in the last book. I even skimmed through a couple of chapters to see if the story remained in the same vein. Oh no, my friends, there is a twist I never saw coming! I enjoyed these books and plan on reading more written by this author.

Okay... not sure I can properly describe this book, or the series. A group of teenage girls suddenly develop powers of the earth. Earth, Air, Fire, Water, Æther....in this book they finally get together and use their powers to defeat an ancient demonic force. Trust me, you REALLY need to read these books. Suitable for teens AND adults.

The plot had me on the edge of my seat and a surprise event totally blindsided me. WOW!
Every part of those gold 5 stars were earned in the telling, the describing and weaving of this fantastic
tale. Where love, trust and friendship combine in righteousness to overcome evil. These wonderful girls, gifted through the leylines with elements they choose to use for good become guardians of mankind! This series is worthy of your library shelf. This author A.L. Knorr has the gift of verse, setting your imagination alight and taking you on a journey into fantasty that will keep you reading into the wee hours. Looking forward to reading many more! Recommended read.

Wow. This book was spectacular. Amazing. Incredible. I can't find enough words to describe it. Reading about Targa,Saxony,Georjayna,Akiko and Petra together was awesome. And their roles in the end was just amazing. I love that each of them had "screen time" and shone brilliantly. These girls were powerful individuals by themselves but it was amazing how they worked together. I love this series and wish it didn't end. Am positive i'll reread all six books again. A.L, u outdid yourself this time. I loved the ending with Akiko. U got a spin off in mind??? Am hopeful.....

I honestly thought the series couldn't get better but I was wrong! Knorr's characters come to life and the reader can actually see the faces of the elemental she describes. I am so excited to find a series that I can recommend to everyone who enjoys reading. Knorr has knocked it "out of the park!"
