When I heard about Michelle Maddow’s new series, Elementals, I knew I had to read it. The first book, The Prophecy of Shadows, introduces the reader to a world that combines greek mythology and witchery. The story follows the main character Nicole and four of her classmates from the unusual homeroom class she’s placed in where everyone is descended from Greek Gods. Because it’s become less common for Greek Gods to visit Earth and procreate, the offspring in the bloodline consider themselves to be witches since their blood is diluted. They’re discouraged from becoming involved with humans in an effort to preserve their bloodline. Being descendants has allotted them some unique abilities and they use colors to channel their energy. While Nicole is learning everything about her newfound abilities, a comet passes over her town and changes everything. a b Moreau, Jordan (May 16, 2022).

Tropes:

LOVE: We have a new romance forming in this book and it was alright with me, I mean I really really liked the way the main character handled it, it just sounded very smart and mature, well done Nicole! Other additional voices in the film include Dylan Buccieri, Assaf Cohen, Jessica DiCicco, Terri Douglas, Karen Huie, Arif S. Kinchen, Austin Madison, Cole Massie, Scott Menville, Alisha Mullally, Fred Tatasciore, Kari Wahlgren, and Secunda Wood. [7] Production Development Director Peter Sohn stated that the film was inspired by his experiences in New York City. Gorn: A hallmark of Bill Willingham's work in the period. Volume 1 isn't that bad, but volume 2 features a lot of gruesome on-panel dismemberment and murder. There's one infamous panel where a demon soldier eats a soldier's head, and another where a vampire bites into a pregnant woman's stomach.

Nicole's top lesson: Doesn't matter how hot a guy is. Or how much he says he cares. Sometimes he's just not that into you. They were all very one dimensional and flat, I felt no connection whatsoever to any of them, most of all the main ones, whose romance was a big failure to me. “I don’t know how to explain it, but I’ve felt connected to you since I saw you walk into homeroom on your first day. It’s unlike anything I’ve ever felt for Danielle. Do you have the same thing? Or am I going crazy?” “My heart was pounding so hard that he could probably hear it, and even though I’d wanted to be alone with Blake since I first saw him, I needed to control whatever I was feeling for him. Nothing could happen between us. At least not right now, while he had a girlfriend.” And after knowing each other for a week and a half: “We could be together in secret.” The clichés.I know that in books about prophecies it's inevitable,but man! I could predict what was about to come miles away,and it took the MCs awfully lot of time to figure things out.Also,new girl falling for the gorgeous guy who's dating an equally gorgeous girl and all of them happen to be witches and share a magic bond that will determine the fate of the world? Secret Circle anyone? Comic-Book Time: Specifically averted, as part of an effort by Willingham to lampoon or avoid a number of the then-standard superhero tropes. The Elementals got their powers in 1983; 7 years later, in an issue published in 1990, Tommy mentions it's 1990. Of course, a lot of the problems posed by this aren't relevant due to most of the comic's cast specifically being, well, ageless supernaturally-endowed humans.

Now I heard through the Grapevine that we will get answers to that much later in the book series. That's fine. I'm happy to know that at least it isn't left open. That would irritate me, but I still gave this one 4 stars. If I had not done some asking around in the blogging community I would not have been able to find out that we have to wait for the answers to this. Personally, I think all of this could be solved if once or twice in the book Nicole wonders to herself (or to someone else) about it. That way the reader knows that answers ARE coming, even if we have to wait a bit. I know this may come off ranty (I hope not though because I don't mean it that way), but it was so distracting for me while reading because I kept thinking about it and wondering why it was being ignored by Nicole. Seriously that's my one and only gripe about the book though.Couch, Aaron (September 18, 2023). " Elemental Notches Top Disney+ Movie Debut of 2023, Says Streamer". The Hollywood Reporter.

A typical paranormal read where a new girl in town caught the eye of a hot guy in school who's dating an equally gorgeous girl, but no problem cause there's this thing called, cheating.

The Elementals series is one that called out to me for quite some time. It seemed right up my street, and yet I was tentative to start reading it. Such is so often the case with young adult fantasy novels – I’ve read so many that are much of the same, leaving me worried that I’ve read all the real ‘wow’ books. Joe Pera as Fern Grouchwood, an overgrown earth element bureaucrat who works at City Hall. [15] His surname is not included in the film's credits, but it is seen in the film on his desk nameplate. [16] Elementals was a dark superhero series published by Comico in three volumes in the 1980s and 1990s. It was initially written and illustrated by Bill Willingham, later of Fables fame, but as the book went on, he eventually stepped down to simply writing it before leaving the book altogether halfway through volume 2. It also features early work by Jill Thompson ( Beasts of Burden, The Sandman (1989)) and Tony Daniel. Shila Ommi as Cinder Lumen, Ember's mother and Bernie's wife who is also distrustful of water elements. [10]Libbey, Dirk (June 10, 2023).

I think that the best thing about this book is the interesting premise. I was really intrigued by Madow's interpretation of magic and mythology. I haven't read anything quite like it before, so it was refreshing. The set designers at the studio looked to cities like Venice and Amsterdam for inspiration. The water canals and the buildings that surround cities have immense detail and thought put into them. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in which most of the production took place, the production team of the film was unable to travel to these cities for research, so they spent many hours watching point-of-view city tours on YouTube to get inspiration for Element City. [42] To feel less like an alien version of real-world cities, production designer Don Shank and his team brainstormed the evolution of elemental beings and their civilization. [43]
