    <body><![CDATA[The Elemental Masters isn't exactly a series, more some vaguely inter-related books. Characters don't (or very rarely) carry over from book to book. <br/>The series is interesting from its use of fairytale motifs as each is (sometimes very loosely) based on traditional tales.

    <body><![CDATA[While not the best in the Elemental Masters series, Reserved for the Cat is in it's own way a good book. It was a nice story, if rather predictable.
