Liz's 100 Books in 2012 - #8



Elemental by Kim Richardson


The Soul Guardians is another YA fantasy/paranormal series about a 16 year old girl that dies within the first chapter and is assigned the duty of guardian angel in her afterlife. Throughout the book she deals with weird monkeys in their version of heaven, other Soul Guardians, demons (of course), and she learns the hierarchy of the Guardian Angel Legion. In the first book she's accused of some angel treason and then she saves the day and is given back her old life. Then in the second book she dies again (this girl's got some bad luck) and has to prove herself a second time.

This was another freebie and another #2 in a series. I read the first book in 2011. The idea of the series is fairly interesting but, again, the characters are a little bit boring, and don't seem all that realistic to me as far as interactions with each other and reactions to situations.

Overall it was just okay for me. It was a quick, easy, and enjoyable read, but nothing much to blog about. I'm not a harsh critic...so 3 out of 5 hambones.
