Fire: The Elemental Series Reviewed

a review of Fire: The Elemental Series by Raveness

Fire: The Elemental Series is a debut young adult novel by Belle Manuel. The story is based around two twin siblings Chad and Chelsea, who each have a unique ability to control one of the elements. Chad has power of the elemental water and is in control of his ability, but Chelsea whose element is fire is struggling to handle her powers. One night Chelsea has a nightmare that causes her to become upset and accidentally burn down the house that she shares with her father and twin brother. This sets Chad and Chelsea on separate paths. Chelsea goes to a college that teaches people with her unique abilities control and skill they need to survive a world that doesn't easily except their existence. Chad enlists in the special forces for people who have control over the element water.

Chelsea, our lead female character starts out weak but grows tremendously in this first book alone. I think the flaws she does possess and the mistake she makes along the way just makes you relate to her more and become more involved in her story. Chad on the other hand, I have yet to really find a redeeming quality about. My favorite character is Blaze, he is broken but has a good heart.

This story gets you involved as soon as you read the first chapter and keeps you wanting more. The plot is different than a lot of YA books out there and isn't necessarily concentrated on just the romantic parts of the story. There is mystery, loss, magic, fantasy and a war brewing all twirled into one great story line. If you are looking for a fresh new series to read, I would recommend this one.

This Book is on Fire!
