A review by midici
Steadfast by Mercedes Lackey

3.0

I was feeling nostalgic, so I decided to pick up a Mercedes Lackey book. I used to read a lot of them when I was a kid. What I ended up grabbing was the 8th book in a series called Elemental Masters.

Katie runs away from her abusive husband and the circus she works in. She finds herself a new job, new friends, and her ability to do magic afterwards which allows her to try and get a divorce from her husband so she can finally be free of him.

Evidently in the Elemtental Masters series there are people that have magic which corresponds to one of the four elements, Earth, Air, Fire or Water. Regular society does not know they exist. Magicians can spot each other fairly easily, unless shielded. They are aided in their magics by elemental beings. All of which was fairly interesting, moreso than the long descriptions of dance routines that the main character Katie performs. An easy, fairly entertaining read.
