Resumen del Editor

Her magic is weak. Her ruling stepmother hates her. And now she’s her people’s only hope.

Frustrated by her pathetically useless powers, Larkspur can only dream of being accepted by true elementals. And as the bastard daughter of the king, she lives under the constant wrath of his jealous wife. When she’s falsely accused of attacking the cruel woman, she must choose between military service or banishment...and both lead to certain death.

Seizing her slim chance for survival, Lark embarks on training as a soldier for the unforgiving kingdom. But though she excels in her new role, it may not be enough to stay safe from a queen out for her blood.

Will she bow under pressure, or unlock the power to vanquish the vicious tyrant?

Recurve is the thrilling first book in The Elemental urban-fantasy series. If you like iron-willed heroines, forces of nature, and rooting for the underdog, then you’ll love Shannon Mayer’s enthralling tale!

Larkspur’s life has been one struggle after another. A father, the king, who is disappointed in her. His wife who despises her. A mother and brother who died when she was young. And she can barely do any magic considering her parentage. Now she has supposedly tried to kill the Queen. Her punishment is to become an Ender, the protectors of the family, well she will become an Ender if she can survive the training.

Larkspur is in for one epic ride and there is so much more going on beyond what anyone could have imagined.

I loved the graphic audiobook version. The story completely came to life as I listened to it and all the narrators did a spectacular job.

Really entertaining.

You know it’s a really good book when you start yelling at it. There was a good bit of that. You know the kind, “come on. That’s the bad guy”kind of thing. Also, there is an interesting potential love interest I am hoping pans out. As for the Graphic Audio. It made the book that much better. I purchased this for a long drive and I absolutely appreciated it.

Boring.

The main narrators voice completely lacks emotion or dramatics. The story itself is ok but sometimes doesn't make any sense and feels like it jumps around a bit. There was no love story, and nothing that kept me wanting more.

Very “G” Rated

I was waiting consistently on some type of action or event that would make me want to be more involved in the story and could not find it. I overall would have passed on this story. Lessons learn I guess!
