Evo: The Elements

by Nicoline Evans

From Nicoline Evans, the author of Haemans, comes a fantasy adventure set 4,000 years in Earth’s future. EVO: THE ELEMENTS is a story for our warring human hearts.
Two worlds, one planet. Half the population is destroying the environment and headed for extinction, while the other half exists for the sole purpose of keeping the earth alive.

Eons ago, people chose to hide from the destructive cities being built. They created new homes in the caves, mountains, islands, and jungles. Through evolution, they became the Elements. They reign over the fire, air, water, and terrain of Earth. Their jobs are to keep the planet spinning while the rest of the population rots in their toxic cities, surrounded by smog and unaware of the world outside their concrete wastelands. The Elements must keep their existence secret from the remaining humans, the Debauched, in order to prevent the onslaught of a Planetary War.

Maila lives in the sky, where secrets are abundant and the truth is scarce. Although she lives in Ayren, she wants to leave the clouds in order to see the world and learn more about her brother Elements: the people of Ahi who control the fires within the earth, the people of Coralen who live in the oceans, and the people of Tier who reign over the jungles. However, millennia-old tradition and familial pressure forbid her from doing so. Will Maila be able to break free of this fate, or will she succumb to the expectations designed by society and her family?

EVO: THE ELEMENTS paints a conceivable future, both grim and whimsical. We must decide where our future lies: in nature or with our materialistic desires.

I am not usually into sci-fi or fantasy, but this book sucked me in from its imagery. I loved the characters and I fell in love with the story! I met Nicoline at a Comic Con and she is a genuine person and author. I have all her books on my reading list :)

Picked up a signed copy from the author at the New York City Comic Con. Original, entertaining story.

I got this book from Nicoline at a market, and she was so sweet! The plot of Evo: The Elements is gripping, the world building lore is deep and fascinating, and the character design is so much fun. My one struggle reading the book was the way in which the author tends to tell us what the characters think and feel, rather than showing us, and sometimes the dialogue is unnatural. Overall a lovely story!

Fantasy story with an entertaining plot and characters you care about.

The beginning was a lot of repetition from the same chapter before it, but as it went on, you can tell the author locked in. It got much better and I couldn’t put the book down.

I really liked the world that Evans created in this story and found the concept presented for human evolution quite imaginative. I did have to suspend disbelief in some respects - the timeframe referenced for the evolution was quite short, and some of the aspects of the evolution seemed far fetched, but overall I found the book very enjoyable.
