The only reason I give this 3 stars is because it was marginally better than her last 2 elemental books. The blurb sounded intriguing, but yet agin, the book failed to deliver. 
 The beginning had action, the end had action. The rest was a boring description of a 'society' party. That not everyone was society didn't seem to change anything, even though I wondered how some of the men could afford not to be working. It also felt like the conflict with the Air Master was to show how awesome Rosa was. 
 I don't recommend this book. Read some of her early Valdemar books instead.
