  “Ask anyone who writes fantasy what the hardest thing to achieve is and the answer you'll receive will be 'magical realism'.
  
  Magic must make sense in order for it to (1) work and (2) be believable. The most base of all magic, and the hardest to write (and get right) is 'elemental magic'; not because it is difficult but because the nature of the elements and the pervasiveness of it in every human culture. Break the rules and it stops working. Twist the rules and you add disbelief.
  
  Debut author Kelli Swofford Nielsen has produced a well crafted, believable story... and the magic works!
  
  I look forward to the next one.
