For earth bloods, action is understanding, while water logic is associative and holistic, and I still struggle to understand it. Each element has its particular set of specialties, and its particular “logic.” Fire logic, for instance, works by intuition for “fire bloods,” metaphor and reality are the same.
The Elemental Logic books are set in a secondary world in which individuals whose natures are dominated by one element, rather than a jumble of all four, are known as elemental witches: fire, earth, water, air. Happily, that is emphatically not the case. A wait of a dozen years is a decently long interval on this earth, and I know that I, a relative latecomer to Marks’s beautifully realized world of Shaftal, was worried whether the long gap would make the final volume feel different than, not as good as, the earlier books. Marks’s previous entries in the Elemental Logic series- Fire Logic (2002), Earth Logic (2004), and Water Logic (2007)-this statement will be all the encouragement you need to tackle the final volume of the series, which was published by Small Beer Press last year.
I suspect that for those who’ve already read Laurie J. A mother must remember the son she has been made to forget, and Air children will find what their place in the world may yet be.Air Logic has been a long time coming, and it was worth the wait. When Medric is taken hostage to force Karis's hand, a strange boy will guide Zanja to the place where she may yet save him. InAir Logic, Karis and those who love her must figure out, in the aftermath of war and an assassination attempt, how to bring together Sainnites and Shaftali in a country where old wounds and enmities fester and Air magic conceals the treason hidden in the heart of the G'deon's household.
Laurie Marks' Elemental Logic series introduced readers inFire Logic to the realm of Shaftal, an intricately imagined land whose people operate within the boundaries of their basic natures-here defined as logics-which sometimes bequeath them with access to magical, elemental powers and sometimes embroil them in unsolvable internal conflicts. The final novel in the acclaimed Elemental Logic series finds Karis G'deon and her sprawling family once more imperiled, this time by the legacy of violence that threatens to unravel the fragile peace they have woven across their land.
