Laurie J. Marks's Elemental Logic series received multiple starred reviews and the first two both won the Gaylactic Spectrum Award. She lives in central Massachusetts and teaches at the University of Massachusetts.
Marks brings her much-loved, long-unavailable Elemental Logic series (most recently 2007's Water Logic, and all recently republished by Small Beer) to a superb finale. . . an extraordinary fantasy saga that's well worth revisiting or exploring for the first time. - Publishers Weekly Shaftal is a convincing world, lovingly detailed and fiercely envisioned. Marks' characters are so real. . . . as the last note in a familiar melody, this book rings true. A final book that stays true to the spirit of the whole, sending readers out of Shaftal on a high note. - Kirkus Reviews Marks (Water Logic) draws a satisfying conclusion to this quartet of novels perfect for readers of K. Arsenault Rivera and previous fans of the series. - Library Journal
