If you've read my previous reviews of the Elemental Mystery Series, then you know that I've always had a hard time making up my mind with how I wanted to rate these books. The first novel, I gave 3 stars; 2nd-4; 3rd-4; but unfortunately for the final installment, I'm going to have to give it 3 1/2 stars! While this one was better than the first, I didn't think it was as good as the previous 2. It just didn't live up to my expectations..

Things I liked:
-Lorenzo: As a villain, I always hated Lorenzo, and while I never started liking him in this one, I at least understood him a bit more. In fact, given the insight into his background, the reader was left wondering,"what if things had been different?" 
-Ben: I LOVE Ben. I think his character is very well-rounded! I'm very excited to read the spin-off series that Elizabeth Hunter has planned for him and Tenzin.
-Answers: Elizabeth Hunter did a very good job of concluding everything, and giving us all the answers we have been striving towards for awhile now. 

Things I didn't like:
-Story-line: I didn't enjoy the story-line in this one. The Elixir of Life really wasn't what I expected, and I felt that it was a story-filler. I felt that the story really dragged on, especially since Gio and Beatrice weren't together for a good portion of it. I felt like too much time was spent on the Ancients, side character story-lines, and introducing characters who amount to nothing in the end. 

This wasn't an in-depth review, because my thoughts for this one are so iffy. I did enjoy it though, it kept me reading into the night, it made me cry..yet again, and I really do love the side characters, as well as Gio and Beatrice's beautiful love story. I guess it just wasn't the epic conclusion that I was waiting for. I know a lot of people would disagree with me on that point though, so definitely give this one a shot!

  
    “Loving you has been the finest thing I have done in five hundred years … I do not tell you enough.”
She looked up and smiled. “You tell me every night.”
“It is not enough … It is never enough”
“It is enough.”
“No.” … “Never enough. It should be the unceasing prayer on my lips. The echo in every breath I take.”
