The Wizard of London by Mercedes Lackey

4.0

As the fourth book in the Elemental Masters series, the Wizard of London dramatically changes the format that readers have come to expect from the series. While this is a retelling of the Snow Queen, the main characters in this book are Sarah and Nan, children who were never in the original tale. Also, this book focuses on other types of magic users in the world, instead of focusing on Elemental Masters. The Wizard of London is a strong story that would almost be better if it hadn't been tied to a fairy tale at all. Mercedes Lackey takes great liberties with the Snow Queen tale, which some people might not enjoy. But if you can get past the associated fairy tale, this is an entertaining tale with all sorts of magic, birds and mayhem thrown in.
