It's another one of ML's series. I'm actually quite fond of them. They're fairy tale retellings set in Victorian England, which is awesome. Plus I have a teensy obsession with elemental magic-- you know, earth, air, fire, water, etc. These books have lots of that.

And Victorian fantasies are all pretty awesome, unless they're cheesy romance Victorian fantasies, which these are not.

So go read them.

*Beats Kayna* How could you get them out of order for awesomeness? Earth/Fire/Wind/Water is the awesome way to order the elements. I think I have one of these books. Would love to read them all of course.

Hmm... it's not that old, but I can't say as I've ever heard of it. Ah well.

And that is what makes me feel old.
Back on topic, I do have the one book, how many are in the series?

The Keeper Books are soo funny. Of course, they also have cats. So an obvious win there... Though I think a Warrl vs Austin would have to be called a draw.

The Wizard of the Grove pair are really very good too... and her Vampire series was fun to read being set in places I've been. They were good, but not so good that I'd bother owning or rereading them.
