Emily White is a nerd.She prefers her men fully clothed and donning bow-ties, her commas British, her books cheesy with big, overly-dramatic explosions, her characters awkward and endearingly real,* and watching her movies in authentic turn-of-the-century theaters. When not exposing her nerdy self to the world, she's creating her own friends and putting them in horrible, yet sometimes humorous situations.Check out her YA Space Opera series starting with Elemental (Spencer Hill Press, 2012), continuing with FAE (February 2014), and ending sometime in the near future with a book she has yet to write. She's also authored a collection of Steampunk (zombie, werebot romance) flash fiction, if you're into those kinds of things, titled "To Love or Die in a Steamy-Reamy World."

Review:
I loved Ella's character. I found her strong, intelligent, and brave. She helps people who hate her and continues to soldier on. It wasn't so much the plot as her character that pulled me into this book. I don't know if I could be as strong as her or as willing to help people who were not kind to me. The other characters emphasized how amazing Ella was and I wasn't too fond of them, overall. Cailen, on the other hand, is another great character. I liked how he was always there for her and supportive. His charisma and kindness had me falling in love with him along with Ella. The plot includes a lot of destruction, more than a few childhood memories courtesy of Ella, and a handsome warrior. There are just enough elements of intrigue to make this book hard to put down. I might just be picky, but I found a few errors in this book that could have been dealt with with a second editing pass, but these don't detract overly much from the book. This book is ideal for young adult/adult readers.
