Review--The Immortal Heights (The Elemental Trilogy, #3)

The Immortal Heights (The Elemental Trilogy, #3)The Immortal Heights by Sherry Thomas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A strong and satisfying conclusion to an excellent fantasy trilogy. The action was non-stop--almost literally. I was exhausted reading it, and the world-building was intense. Titus and Iolanthe, along with their friends and allies, are moving closer to stopping the Bane and removing his threat to their lives and their very world and there's no time to waste.

The entire series is a Harry Potteresque world of mages living alongside mundanes, their world mirroring ours in many ways. I missed the scenes at Eton that made the first volumes so interesting, but our characters had outgrown that phase of their lives.

If I have one quibble about the books it was characters with names that were too similar (Amara/Aramia), a problem which could easily have been avoided. There was a great deal to keep track of in the wonderfully complex plot, and having to stop and remember who's who didn't help.

However, I would cheerfully recommend The Elemental Trilogy to YA readers looking for a story with depth, heart, and a great deal of imagination.
