Review
Praise for the Elemental Masters series:“Lackey’s fantastical world of Elementals, plus her delightful Nan and Sarah, create an amusing contrast for Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes and John Watson…. The mix of humor, history, fantasy, and mystery is balanced in a way that any reader could pick up the book and thoroughly enjoy it from beginning to end.” —RT Reviews“The Paris of Degas, turn-of-the-century Blackpool, and the desperation of young girls without family or other protection come to life in a story that should interest a broad readership.” —Booklist“All in fine fairy-tale tradition.... It’s grim fun, with some nice historical detail, and just a hint of romance to help lighten things.” —Locus“The action and dialogue flow freely, mingling with beautiful descriptions of European countryside and just a hint of romance.... A well-developed heroine and engaging story.” —Publishers Weekly“The fifth in the series involving the mysterious Elemental Masters, this story of a resourceful young dancer also delivers a new version of a classic fairy tale. Richly detailed historic backgrounds add flavor and richness to an already strong series that belongs in most fantasy collections. Highly recommended.” —Library Journal“The Elementals novels are beautiful, romantic adult fairy tales. Master magician Mercedes Lackey writes a charming fantasy.” —Worlds of Wonder“Ms. Lackey is a master in fantasy, and this visit to an alternate historical England is no exception. Vivid characterization and believable surroundings are flawlessly joined in a well-detailed world.” —Darque Reviews"I find Ms. Lackey's Elemental Masters series a true frolic into fantasy." —Fantasy Book Spot

Sigh. I’ve been a Mercedes Lackey fan since the Arrows books. Most of her “mind candy†stories are entertaining and have relatable characters who drive the plot line toward. In this installment, however, everything falls rather flat. The plot line is boring and repetitive. She uses forced “hey this character who I’ve used in multiple previous installments suddenly had a brand new magical ability!†to sort of make it work. Characters whom I am desperately hoping Lackey will retire (seriously, Sarah and Nan need to go) plod slowly. Their birds are more useful than they are.Normally with this author I can speed read my way through in an afternoon and feel as though I’ve just had an enjoyable time in another land or century. This time I couldn’t stop putting it down. Literally found myself yawning and thinking about doing the dishes because I would get more amusement out of a clean kitchen than reading this. Disappointed.
I jump to buy any new Lackey release. But this entry to the world of the Elemental Masters lost me early on. The first books were wonderful, unique and thought-provoking. This volume struggles so to fit the Arthur Conan Doyle model that it took multiple attempts to finish reading it.The best of Lackey is found in her ability to weave heart and hope into facing challenges and mysteries. This is the first volume without heart or hope or wit. I found no humor to hold me, and a lack of growth for the characters.When it came time to rate the book? I felt 3 stars too generous and 2 stars ungracious to bulk of the body of work. 99% of the books Lackey has published are amazing. Please, don't let this volume steer you away from an amazing author. This book however needs a complete rewrite before it could be considered as running into the Lackey canon.Please, Misty, let go of Holmes and get back to what you do best, Be You.
I have loved Ms. Lackey’s treatment of familiar and not-so-familiar fairy tales since her first Elemental Masters book. However, I find myself weary of the characters Nan and Sarah, unhappy with continued usage of Sherlock Holmes and Watson and really missing the continuous thread of the original fairy tale that is utterly lacking in the last two books. I am guessing that this installment is giving a nod to the legend of Bluebeard, but if so, the heroine/victims of the tale are incidental rather than central to the plot. C’mon Misty, back to Edwardian England, WW1 and the struggle for suffrage!
This latest Elemental Masters book continues her use of Sherlock Holmes and the Watsons as major characters along with telepath Nan Killian and medium Sarah Lyon-White. There are short chapters in which the seduction, marriage, and murder of young women are described—for the most part the young women are orphans whose fate no one is particularly interested in, like many others in London of the 1890s. The opening chapter quickly fixes the time of the book as immediately following the classic battle between Holmes and Moriarty at the Reichenbach Falls. From Doyle’s stories, we know that Holmes survived that fight, but did Moriarty do so as well? There seems to be some evidence that an elemental master of some sort had become a senior member of his gang, and is behind the succession of dead girls. Not one of my favorites in the series, but enjoyable enough.
I thoroughly enjoy Holmesian fiction, so I expected to like this book and I did. Holmes is really least in sight, so Nan, Sarah, and Watson shine in this tale. And Lestrade? My favorite quotation was about him: Sarah had thought Lestrade couldn’t get any redder. She had been wrong. He turned from the color of a strawberry to the color of a beet.So with all this going for it, why was I not totally thrilled with the book? I think the gruesomeness of the murders got to me. And for the first time that I can remember Mercedes Lackey has put an easily recognizable political figure in the book and done it in a highly uncomplimentary fashion. I read fantasy to escape from some of the unpleasantness in real life and don't enjoy real life rearing its ugly head so obviously.Fans of the series will most likely enjoy the book as will those who enjoyed the earlier Holmes books in the series.
Ah, what a delight it always is to read the newest installment of the Elemental Masters series from Mercedes Lackey!The book jacket proclaims that this is the book in which Sherlock Holmes & Professor Moriarty have gone over Reichenbach Falls to their deaths.So, this is the book where the game is surely afoot but John & Mary Watson, Sarah and Nan, and Lord Alderscroft are on their own trying to hunt down & stop a serial killer while mourning their dear friend and colleague Sherlock Holmes.It will take all of their magical and psychic wits/powers if they are to pull this off and stop this murderer before he kills again!Highly recommended as a most enjoyable read to all alternate history urban fantasy Elementary Masters fans!
The Elemental Masters is turning into a Sherlockian horror series but it's still very enjoyable. This is no longer classic Mercedes Lackey comfort reading but it's a good page turner and I'm happy (about 3/4 of the way through). Also gave it a +1 star for appropriate character naming and description.
This was an exciting story with some established characters, mainly Sarah and Nan, and John and Mary Watson. Set in London, the other masters get some story time, too. It has lots of twists and turns, of course. It's true Lackey all the way. I love the way she writes her characters. You quickly get immersed in the story and it's hard to step out and take a break.
