Title: A Disappointing Revised Cinderella
Review: The theme of the Elemental Series is a retelling of classic fairy tales. Lackey sets this retelling of Cinderella in WWI England, in a world among magicians based on the classic 4 elements of eath, fire, air and water.The danger in choosing such a theme is that you need to *add* something to the retelling. In this instance, I unfortunately have to say Lackey fails.The social commentary on the class structures breakdown of Britian during WWI has been done many times. The characters were one dimensional, and the magical undertones don't add any special dimension to the tale.I hate saying this about anything by Mercedes Lackey, but this is one that can be given a pass.
