serena_dawn's review against another edition
3.0
I think the names in this series and it's setting in the timeline was quite charming, in 'The Book of Earth' you have Erde and her dragon, Earth, he is child like upon awakening, set in a Medieval Germany, where a crazed religious fanatic priest sends her running into a kind of witchcraft. She loses her voice for a while and learns to speak telepathically.
In 'The Book of Water' finds N'Doch N'Djai in the year 2013 (this book was published in 1997, the future/present resembled something between high technology and pollution) with his dragon, Water, off the coast of Africa. In this timeline too is a sinister cult, one which the dragon Fire may be a part of, and the dragon Air may be prisoner.

SUM: The Book of Fire: Paia is the High Priestess at the Temple dedicated to Fire, a dragon posing as a god during the end of times when the land is bare and sustenance is hard to come by. Paia and Fire share an interesting sexual connection, and Luco, the First Son of the Temple, is an intriguing character.
The Book of Air: Gerrasch enters the picture again, in his future self in the time of Paia and Luco, and we learn that he is continually reborn, the human vessel for the dragon Air, who has no corporeal body. The dragons unite against a common enemy, and finally Fra Guill dies. They agree to sacrifice themselves (along with their dragon guide counterparts) to give new life to the world, without erasing things completely and starting over.
REV: Very excellent series. Some of the scenes with Gerrasch's POV were difficult to follow, but I think that was intentional, and Kellogg wrote him very well. I saw the ending coming, sadly, but it still moved me when it happened, especially when N'Doch stepped up to do his duty at last. I was sad about Adolphus, but happy that Paia couldn't have him, since Erde deserved him but couldn't have him either. Very good series, would recommend to anyone.
