Welcome to the mystical world of Unnatural Issue, where the mundane meets the magical and everything is slightly more. well, unnatural! Written by the whimsical Mercedes Lackey, this book is the sixth installment in the Elemental Masters series, and let me tell you, it packs quite the punch with its charming blend of fantasy, folklore, and a generous sprinkle of sarcasm.
Our story kicks off in the charmingly chaotic world of 1920s London, where our protagonist, the kind-hearted yet somewhat frazzled heroine, a healer named Alice, finds herself in the thick of things. Spoiler alert! She is no ordinary human; Alice has some serious magic up her sleeve. You know, the type that could make a mere mortal green with envy. But with great power comes great responsibility, and in Alice's case, it also brings a massive heap of trouble!
This tale unfolds with a rather unnatural issue!- a mysterious illness plaguing the local fae population. Because let's face it, even magical beings have their bad days. Alice joins forces with a colorful cast of characters, including a brooding yet charming fae lord and a feisty witch, as they attempt to uncover the source of this epidemic. And, of course, you can bet there's a villain lurking in the shadows, ready to give our heroes a run for their money.
As Alice and her crew traverse the perils of healing magic, they grapple with the age-old question: can you really trust the supernatural, or is it just a fancy word for shady business? You'll laugh, you'll cringe, and you might even find yourself shaking your head at the sheer absurdity of it all. And just when you think things couldn't get any crazier, hold onto your seats because the story takes a twist that'll make your head spin!
And speaking of twists, let's just say the culprit of this unnatural illness is not who you'd expect. I'm talking about a plot twist that could easily fill a bathtub! So, if you're the type who hates spoilers, you might want to skip this part, but I promise I'm doing you a favor here.
By the end of the journey, you will not only want to conjure some magic of your own (who wouldn't?), but you'll also be pondering the complexities of morality and loyalty in a whimsical world where nothing is quite what it seems. Will Alice manage to save the day? Will the fae population emerge victoriously? Well, that's for you to read and find out.
So, whether you're looking for a light-hearted read or an escape into a world where magic and mischief collide, Unnatural Issue is sure to tickle your fancy. Just remember, when it comes to magic, not all that glitters is gold-sometimes, it might just be a very unnatural issue waiting to unfold!
