In this hair-raising conclusion to the trilogy, Nisha and friends find themselves head to head against the Aklum Queen, Viderakl. The Elements are the key to defending their kingdom from Viderakl's descending forces, but will they be able to gather the Elements in time to stop the impending destruction of Seis?

Last book in 2021! It took me 4 days to finish it because I also read another 3 books!😂
So, heyy!!! This is my favorite book of the trilogy!!😭 Nisha and Elian's relationship are ahhh soo cuteee, OMG!! Sorry, Ged, I can't support your engagement with her anymore🙊
And finally, the reunion of Faris & Saad after 2 months!
Airin already told me that she made another character, and yap! she's Saran, the white witch from the Order and I love her character!🖤
I still can't believe that this is the end of the story. But, the good news is, Airin will make a stand-alone book after 2 years of the event!! Can't wait to read it, please make it faster!!🥲
wow! that was the first thing i said when i finished the book. this is the last book form the Nisha Trilogy AND it’s a really great book to end the series. the first and the second book are also great i really enjoyed it. BUT the third book, Elements is just hits different. i’m having a reading slump then i literally forced myself to finish this book and WOW i didn’t regret at all that i forced myself to read it. i love how the plot is very fast-paced, the story is more deeper and ofc more actions. Not just that, there’s a new characters and very new interesting places. oh god i swear it felt so REAL. no but can we talk about the relationship of all characters in this book. they’re just so wholesome and heartwarming. AND THE LIL BIT ROMANCE BETWEEN NISHA & ELIAN PLS I LOVE THEM. overall, i really loved and enjoyed this book so much. i’m sure i will miss the characters in this book so much bcs how much i can relate to them is just on another level.
thank you so much to the author for this beautiful series and giving me to read it in exchange with an honest review! 🥰 this book is coming on 31st january!!!
I feel very honored to be one of those people who read the arc of this amazing conclusion of Nisha and her warrior friends' journey!
It was such a thrilling and heart-breaking ride. I love that this book has EVEN MORE cool battle scenes and BEAUTIFUL magic ambience. This book is also surprises me and I really love all of the characters' development in this one!
What a great way to end a trilogy! Good job, Ci Airin 🤍
Aaaaaa buku yg ke-3 ini gak kalah seruuu dari 2 buku sebelumnyaaa! Bagus bangett. Salut sama Kak Airin yang gak bingung bikin tokoh sebanyak ini dengan berbagai karakter berbeda tanpa kecampur-campur gitu. Mana para tokohnya pada loveable banget, punya peran pentingnya sendiri-sendiri. Jadi walopun banyak karakter, tapi gaada karakter yg sia-sia di buku ini. Padahal kan bukunya tipis ya, tapi Kak Airin ngolah dan bagi part-part buat para tokohnya tuh bisa rata 😭👍🏻
Para jomblo harus kuat hati disuguhin konten uwu Nisha sama Elian dan Ged sama Isma 😆 Terus aku suka juga sama karakternya Saran yang ceplas-ceplos sarkasme, kayak dia tuh jutek tapi peduli setia kawan wkwk ofcourse Saad juga karakternya aku sukaaa. Dia tuh positive vibe banget deh. Bisa nenangin disaat keadaan lagi genting-gentingnya.
OIYA sama deskripsi Lair OMGGG KAK AIRIN AYO AJAK AKU BERKUNJUNG KE SANA!! Deskripsinya cakep banget lohh beneran aku kayak bisa bayangin seindah apa Lair ini.
Bingung mau komen apa lagi, buku yang ke-3 ini AKU SUKAKK sampee gabisa berenti bacanya 😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️ Dan good luck buat kak Airin yang mau bikin standalone Nishaverse!! Yeayy
This is the greatest book of the Nisha trilogy! I love how the story gets deeper and it's more complicated than the past two books. I also got to meet great new characters, visit new, interesting places, and the character developments are soooo good. The budding relationship between the characters is also so cute and I love Nisha and Elian's interactions the most! I feel like the bad and good sides of every character are fairly shown and that's why every character is special to the readers.
In Elements, I also got to meet Viderakl, the Mother of the Aklumites and I love how the problem was solved in the end. It's not just solving the problem for the sake of finishing the story, but there are also deeper meanings and issues hidden in the story.
Overall, Elements is not just a story. It is a story that empowers its readers and the characters are friends the readers can relate to. I will surely miss the characters a lot! I hope ci Airin would write more of this series. Thank you for letting me read this book before it's officially released and thank you for the special dedication, ci! <3
I’ve been reading this last book of Nishaverse through my phone every time I’m anxious (especially during my first week of offline uni class!) or when waiting for something. I finally finished it this morning and I’m glad to say that the ending is very satisfying. Compare to the other books in the trilogy, I feel like this one is longer yet is the best one in the trilogy. I love how this trilogy keeps getting better in every book so I never think to DNF any of the book. It’s really cool when things got more complicated and the book adds up more map! My favorite character in the book isn’t the MC though. I love Isma SO MUCH! She’s radiating a great feminist energy! Also, I love how the book also talks about patriarchy in such a subtle way. I think this is a great medium for younger reader to be introduced to the topic. Even though some parts seems like it’s written in a hurry, I think it’s one of the way to keep the book an easy read and very refreshing. Overall, it was such a good read! I really hope this can turn into a children animation because it’s so much fun!
can't help but think that this is a perfect closure for the trilogy! there's a lot of things unraveling in this one and finally we get to see everyone working together again as a team! (pretty sure people who love the found family trope will be loving this one) although the first few chapters might be a little bit slow paced when compared to the first and second book, it certainly picked up the pace halfway on!
this book also has such vivid descriptions of the setting and places it makes it easier for me to imagine how's the world there and how it might look like in real life (it's looking as a place from a fairy tale here in my mind lol) there are remarkable character developments shown in this book too, each one of the characters seem to grow in different ways and i love them even more now!
My favorite book of the trilogy! Ci Airin doesn't only read great fantasy series - she also writes them!!
In this book, we meet Viderakl, the super powerful evil queen of the Aklumites - whom they simply call Mother - and from the start I was curious how young Nisha and her friends would confront her. I couldn't say much about it without spoiling the story - I can only say that Nisha and Viderakl's "final battle" is one of my favorite parts of the books!
My other favorite parts? The folklore. The lack of patriarchy. The songs. The battles. The magic!
A must-read for fantasy lovers! Looking forward to another Nishaverse story 😌😌
There are two things that I wont ever do myself: 1) baking croissants and 2) writing fantasy novels.
Elements just proved the second one is the right decision, damn this is such a great closure for Nishaverse! I think the third book is the best one among the trilogy. Not only it offers a fast-paced adventure, but also a slow burn romance that made me blush 🥰
The story kept me on the edge of my seat, not wanting the adventure to end. Despite having a not-so-complicated world building, Nishaverse still offers a great depth in their characters. I love how Nisha’s and Ged’s characters are developed (yes of course I hated Ged at first)
Nisha has defined her own future, despite the past that she was not really proud of. I admire her bravery and honesty to own her feelings, and I hope to be as brave in my own journey.

Thank you Airin for providing me the book in exchange for an honest review. Actually, she was just asking for the first trilogy, but look where I am now: loving them all ❤️ I sincerely hope that she will keep writing
Elements by Airin Efferin saved me from a reading slump. It slapped me with magic, threw me into a magical forest, and dragged me to battle.
The book was a lot darker than I thought it would be, but I can’t think of a better ending to Nishaverse Trilogy than this.
All of the characters are so likable. We can feel the characters grow from the previous two books. And this new character, Saran, I liked her! She's sassy!
I want to say a couple of things to Kak Airin. First, thank you so much for giving me the honor to go on an adventure with Nisha. I loved every part of the journey. Second, I love Ademaro. He was kind, considerate, and loyal. He’s my favorite character. 😀
That future begins with a good night’s rest. -Ademaro
Picking up right where we left off in Sacred Rituals, Nisha braves a journey to the Lair of the Order of the Witches and Wizards in search of reinforcements against the pressuring forces of Aklum. However, as sudden tension erupts, and Sies teeters dangerously under the direct threat of the Aklum Queen Viderakl, will the young warriors be able to unite the elements from the ancient legend & defend their home once and for all?

My poor heart has finally been resurrected—thank you @airinefferin for delivering the perfect finale ♡
The long-awaited introduction to our mystery villain—Queen Viderakl—broke my heart, as does her backstory. I was initially skeptical that she may end up being another flat villain—the kinds that only existed because stories needed villains—since we weren’t given much detail through the first two books. But instead, she was brought to life as a true character that readers could feel, relate to & understand in the finale. I only wished we could’ve been given more insight into her descent into the corruption of her powerful magic.
On the other hand, the addition of new characters Saran & Isma added such a surprisingly light & amusing spark to the original characters. The banters between Saran & Nisha were THE highlights. And while Isma was all determination & seriousness, we always need that other sassy, occasionally sharp-tongued, but caring & supportive character to love, too (sorry, Ged, I’ve just found my new favorite).
And since this trilogy has officially come to an end, I should admit that my least favorite character OF ALL was Queen Anvi. While I cannot deny that her decisions were based on determination in leading her kingdom into prosperity, she failed to consider how selfish & one-sided some of her actions were & the pain she may have inflicted upon her family & moreover her kingdom. Nisha’s understanding & consideration of Anvi in the finale were moving & a true demonstration of how much she has matured.
Overall, the finale was a delightful wrap-up. With the introduction to the Legend of the Elements, the entire storyline felt completed & seamlessly connected through all three books of the series, drawing a final conclusion to the trilogy with a heartbreaking revelation & beautiful ending.
As usual, I do wish we were given more detail & room to further develop the story, as some parts of the book seemed slightly rushed & not as thoroughly explained, while the romance interests were also slightly too instant for me. HOWEVER, I did love the story AND will always highly recommend for fantasy lovers who are in search for short reads with a refreshing magic system, lovable & three-dimensional characters, and overall a fast-paced plot that keeps you very much intrigued.
After going through absolute leisure of 2 astonishing sequels of the series "Nisha Trilogy", I was eagerly waiting for the third one. Airin titled it "Elements". After I was done with "Nisha" and "Sacred Rituals", I was so into this whole fascinating series that actually makes me feel so good. I am very positive that all of those who read the past books of this series would not miss reading this one too.
This is the best end I can ever imagine for Nisha Trilogy. This book contains everything I ever wanted - adventure, romance, and fast-paced. The adventure of the story kept me on the edge of my seat, sticking to the story. Here we have Viderakl, the super-powerful evil queen of the Aklumites as the final villain. This genre evolves with your imagination that's why I love this trilogy and the final battle is so exciting. The interaction between Nisha and Elian (a young lieutenant of Seis under General Char. He is in charge of the bowmen, himself an excellent archer) is the best part for me. Every character has its own speciality which makes every character lovable. Right all along, I was completely connected with the story and the world that the creator made was hypnotizing. Directly from the introduction, the readers will be completely fascinated with the captivating story. This book is loaded with experience!
The best part of the story for me was of course the plot! I really wasn't expecting it to turn out the way it did. I am damn sure you guys are curious about the story so give it a try. Trust me you guys won't regret the read. This book really made me happy. This book or I can say the whole series has everything enough to keep the reader bound up to itself with a lot of ups and downs.
Airin's books caught my attention immediately and I can't put them down.
There's so much going in the book that it’s hard to pinpoint only a few reasons why you will love it, but let us try nonetheless.
Since the first day of reading the first book of this series, I had drawn great interest towards it and I must admit, it's all worth it. Also I love the way she detailed every single character, the surroundings taking place during each arc of the story is just mind blowing. I really felt attached to the characters of the story and it didn't take me long to go through all 164 pages and it never really felt like a lot either.
I've read two books by Airin mam before as well and with all honesty, I love her way of writing and how she brings the story to life. I loved every minute of going through this whole series and it was really enjoyable to read.
Get your hands on these asap guys! I bet you won't regret a single read. Thank you to the author for letting me review this beautiful series!
Elements concludes the Nisha trilogy, in which Nisha, Faris, Saad, and the rest of the gang prepare for the final battle against the Aklumites.
The trilogy itself has captured my heart from the beginning, but book 3 owns my entire soul for a number of reasons.
First is the character development. I could genuinely see how much the characters have grown as they wade through mistakes after mistakes, trauma after trauma together. The events in the trilogy spanned for only a few months but their growth as individuals is just immense. Ged Luft in particular was a very unlikeable character for me in book 1 and even book 2. He was initially drawn out to be a very spoiled and careless boy with no sense of responsibility, but his character development throughout the books is amazing and to me is the most apparent.
Next is the found-family trope. I am a sucker for this trope and it never fails to melt my heart and make me all emotional. The characters’ togetherness is just so so sweet. Despite their obvious differences in backgrounds, characters, and abilities, they were able to create such a powerful and inspiring bond. I really love that. (in addition we also have two budding romances so 😉)
Lastly, I thought the final battle was also quite well done. I loved that the conflict was resolved in a quite uncommon but very creative way. It provided insight into the villain’s origin and in a way also allows the readers to sympathize with the villain more. I do wish it was drawn out a bit longer though, because I’d really love to delve deeper into why and how the villain came to be. Perhaps...a spin-off? 👀
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed reading Elements very very much! Thank you to kak Airin for gifting me with a copy of Elements. I am a bit sad that this is the last book of the trilogy, however I’m excited for what the future holds for Nishaverse! Best believe I’ll be reading the standalone book when it is released ❤️
This is the last book of Nishaverse trilogy and it provides more pages (and of course more stories unfolds) than the other two books. Big thanks to Ci Airin Efferin who let me read these trilogy and made meet Nisha, Faris, and Saad 😍😍 The thing that I like from this book is the vivid description of the places in this book, especially the Lair, home for every wizards and witches that inspired by Derinkuyu, the underground city in Turkey 😍😍 And I also like how the woman characters acts bold and brave in Nishaverse trilogy, especially in this book.
I do like Nisha and friends adventures although I think that there's missing puzzle in their character development, especially Nisha's character development. I know that Nisha is the most talented young witch in Seis, her speciality is Inner Movement Magic which use elements within the human body to alter or direct certain results from humans , but I think her progress is too fast for a young witch who has never been sent to battlefield.
But, overall the story is still interesting and this third book provides satisfying closure for Nisha and the rest of Seis' people. Btw, the trilogy is written in English but it really easy to understand so if you want to start reading English book, I really recommend these trilogy 👌🏻👌🏻
Elements, the last book in trilogy! I like this book more than the previous 2 books. This book explains more about the magic elements from the Nishaverse world which I think is unique and beautiful. The author (@airinefferin) describes things in beautiful and easy-to-understand words. I like all the characters in this book, they each have an important role, and also the story goes more action! All relationships between the characters, Ged's character development and the little bit romance between Nisha and Elian (and 🐘) I love it all.
*i got an arc from kak airin in exchange for an honest review (full Instagram review will be up soon*
WOW!! so i definitely enjoyed this one better than the first two. kak airin did a great job with the characters as well, and the plot. Nisha is such a great and independent character! there are some parts of this story where i did get a bit lost. but i found my way out again. the last few pages, "a guide to the nishaverse" is always such a great help. also the little hint of romance in this *chef's kiss*
in the end, i would highly recommend the nisha trilogy, and my overall rating for the whole trilogy: 4.5/5 !!!
I got to meet the evil queen which is Viderakl, the mother of Aklumites I found her quite interesting. The fighting scene to confront her? Oh my, that would be my favorite part.
I pretty much love the battle scene here compare to book 2 because I got to see everyone giving their best to stand and fight for their homeland. The companionship, magic is pretty much balance in the whole scene. There were also so many shocking moments inside this book so I can't give any spoilers.
The blooming relationship between Nisha & Elian makes me grin all the way. Like, come on! A bowman and a witch? Hiks they made me blush!
I'm looking forward to knowing Nisha's progress aftermath the battle in the author's next standalone! Overall, I enjoyed every bit of this series, and do pick this up!
this is the last book of the Nisha Trilogy and OMG 😳 I DIDN’T EXPECT THAT I WILL LOVE THE LAST BOOK MORE THAN THE SACRED RITUALS ONE 😳 there’s more action in this book and all the secret has been revealed which make it more interesting !!!
Nisha and Elian are so adorablee awww love that little romance between them 😙 the story and the plot is very fast paced and it didn’t bored me at all. There’s also a new characters !! jeng jeng jeng hehehe 👀
Overall i love the last book ! yes it is a perfect ending for this storyy 💗
actually i finished read this book 1 month ago but i’ve been so busy w my studies and didn’t have the opportunity to write the review but now, finally i write the review 😭
thank you to the author for giving me this opportunity to read her masterpiece and in exchange with an honest review ! 💗💗💗
"Much evil can be overcome with just a good night's sleep."
ELEMENTS BY AIRIN EFFERIN Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
What a beautiful ending to this amazing series.! Elements is the last book in the Nisha trilogy and this one was my absolute favourite among the three. Airin's writing is just beautiful and in a 154 pages, she highlights every single thing and gives you the perfect plot line, great characters, a world to lose yourself in with swoon worthy couples. I'm definitely gonna miss these characters but I'm looking forward to the surprise which is mentioned at the end of the book.
If you're looking for a short fast-paced fantasy series then I would definitely recommend this series.
Finally, my journey with princess Nisha end with this book... I don't know how to say just i loved the story goes and end with happy ending. I learnt many things from this book especially about motherly loved. anyway this is must read book !!! because so interesting, though, short novel !!!
I can feel the pressure and romance on part "Be Safe" when Viderakl 'do something really bad' and i love the way Elian treats Nisha, bcs it makes me realize they're such a great couple who always support each other (but wait, how can you make me wanna cry and melted on the same time?😳).
I'm so glad that Faris and Saad back, and when Saran comes. All i can say is..THE FINAL BATTLE IS WORTH TO WAIT!🔥
i think this book is a great one to end the nishaverse, especially this book shows what's been missing in the last two books, and all the problem was solved. i love all the characters development, and how all of them gathered together again!
honestly i really love faris and saad, and elian though. the romance and the family, friendship feels was all there. i think this one is a perfect closure to the nishaverse.
i LOVE the vivid description of a place, and the map. it gives me a good view of the place and background. i think this book is my favorite from the nishaverse trilogy.
This was such a marvelous way to end the Nishaverse trilogy and it's definitely my favorite of the trilogy. What a fantastic ride it was when the entire plot came together in a single, magnificent finale.
The characters have developed so much after many unfolded things. I especially adore how Nisha has matured, long live Queen Nisha! We also got to meet some brand-new characters like Saran which might be my favorite girl. And the romance? Elian and Nisha? Though I hadn't anticipated it, I'd really like to see more of them.
My rating could be better if I my brain just function as well when I read romance, really, not the book's fault. I don't read a lot of fantasy, but the battle scene in this book was SO awesome! I don't want to give anything away, though!
I absolutely enjoyed reading this series, and I wish there were more fantasy novels featuring characters with Indo names. Thank you for sending me the copy, kak Airin!
Dari 3 buku nisha trilogi, elements adalah favorit aku. benar benar pas untuk penutup petualangan nishaverse. disini bener bener disuguhin semua jawaban dari misteri yang ada di buku 1 dan 2, alias semua penasaranku tentang aklum (yang katanya bukan manusia) terjawab sudah.
OH DAN JUGAAA aku suka banget character developmentnya disini. beneran kagum banget sama nisha. dia bisa sekuat, setegar sekaligus seberani itu untuk menghadapi semuanya. lalu ged, dari anak mami yang manut manut aja, jadi punya pendirian sendiri walaupun itu bikin dia jadi pemberontak dimata bapaknya. SAAD BEST BOY!!! salut banget sama saad yang selalu ada buat nisha, disaat nisha terlalu takut ambil tindakan (terutama saat perang). gak cuma nisha sih, saad tuh penenang bagi semuanya disini, positive vibes banget.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
Lagi-lagi aku dibuat terkesima dengan progress penulisan author. Buku ini merupakan buku dengan penulisan paling baik di Nishaverse. Penulisan dibuku ketiga ini seperti membawaku masuk ke dalam bukunya. Penulis bisa menulis nuansa yang lebih sedih, mencekam, dan menegangkan.
Dalam buku ini, karakter dan flow lebih tertata dan bermakna mendalam. Ada cerita romansa Nisha juga swihiyyy. Buku ketiga ini akan menjadi favorit saya setelah buku kedua karena aku suka banget dengan kepenulisan author dan ceritanya.
Aku berharap author bisa memberikan banyak karya indah lagi untuk para pembaca, terima kasih banyak sudah mengizinkan saya membaca karya yang indah ini. Maaf karena butuh waktu lama untuk mereview buku ini.
Agak kecewa sama ending konfliknya, bukan karena happy endingnya hanya saja agak kurang greget. Tapi sebenarnya tidak bisa dikatakan happy ending juga soalnya Nisha setelah peperangan itu jadi kayak Hachi yang sebatang kara sudah tidak lagi bisa mencari ibunya.
Mungkin karena aku yang tidak terlalu pinter banget ngomong bahasa inggris juga jadi saat puncak konflik merasa kurang greget. Di sini wanita memegang kendali nyata.
Sepertinya sudah lamaaaaaa sekali buku ini selesai dibaca 😂 baru sekarang mau unggah kesan bacanya. Ckckck, maafkan aku Mbak @airinefferin 😂
#LetMeTellYouThisBook
Akhirnya yah setelah nemenin Nisha dari mulai mau dijodohin, ketemu ibunya lagi, kabur, punya temen baru, berubah jadi burung, finally kisahnya tuntas juga di buku terakhir dari trilogi #nishaverse ini.
Buku terakhir ini awur-awuran sih tegangnya! Seingatku, aku baca ini malam-malam sebelum tidur dan kayaknya langsung selesai deh 🤔 masih kebayang betapa realistisnya penulis menggambarkan betapa menjijikannya (dan bau) bangsa aklumites 😂
Paling senang karena astaga, akhirnya ada sedikit romansa yang proper di sini!!! I need that 😂 ulasan ini agak tidak proper ya karena jujur aku sudah lupa setiap detailnya. Hanya saja, setiap aku lihat sampul buku ini, bakal selalu ingat vibes deg2an baca ini, kangen sama setiap karakternya yang bertumbuh jadi sangat keren dan adorable!, sejarah sihirnya dan bagaimana setiap elements bergabung bikin output yang GOKIL ☄️ juga gimana aku dengan spanengnya mencoba memahami ceritanya yang ditulis dalam bahasa inggris ini tanpa bolak-balik klik kamus di Kindle. Haha 😆🤣
Nanti kapan-kapan mau baca ulang deh! Udah aman dia di Kindle, just one click away~ wkwkw.
