Book Description:
Two hundred years ago, the Fire Queen destroyed her rival queens of Earth, Air, and Water in the fateful Burning and took power over Oran. No child with a trace of the elemental magic was allowed to live. Years later, the country still trembles under her oppression. But now there are rumors of hope. Four young women escaped—four who have the powers of Earth, Fire, Water, and Air—and are even now finding each other. At the same time, a ragtag army of artists and singers, orphans and vagrants, thieves and knife wielders is stealing into the city. Their sign is the blood red, blade-thin New Moon . . .

Typically brilliant, intelligent writing from Midori Snyder. Good character development and plot. Leaves you with a sense of hope and good sense of the imminent battle to come in the next two books.

For fans of British/Irish history, you'll appreciate the research she put into the book, mirroring the British occupation of Northern Ireland and the underground struggle for freedom. There are also many other historical allegories, but this one most clearly stands out.
