What an incredible imagination to create a world that is so different, fascinating and so descriptive. The Elemental Crossing is just such a creation from pure imagination. This is a short novella and it sucked you into a world beyond anything you’ve ever known. My only complaint was it was slightly confusing ( oops, I read book 2 before book 1 which would explain my confusion) and ended too abruptly…still what a radical picture show of the mind. 4 1/2 stars.

Excellent worldbuilding and vivid unusual descriptions. The world and the mystery deepens.
The romance is more realistic in this part, but it's in no way mushy.
I do wish he'd combine all three of these 'books' into one since, to me, the first two aren't complete stories. They just stop suddenly. The next one starts with almost the next sentence.
So far, my favorite cover is for the third book, Kate of Kratos.
