After reading this beautiful fantasy romance, I learned two vital things about my reading preferences.
One: I love Elemental Magic. Well written, it can be intuitive, creative, and quite original from author to author. In Princess of Air, we see a magnificent use of elemental magic from all the siblings.
Two: I don't enjoy romantic triangles at all. There's not a single aspect of that trope that works for me, and it's a predominant subject in this novel.The tragic resolution to Arabella's romantic dilemma broke my heart (because, of course, the guy I liked didn't make it!). I will forever defend the idea that love triangles only work if the two guys are also pinning for each other.
I recommend this book to fans of elemental bending, political intrigue, and love triangles. Two out of three for me!
