I have become enamored of Mercedes Lackey's Elemental Masters & Elemental Masters Fairy Tales. Each of these books has characters that have mastered working with one of the 4 elements. Earth, Air, Fire and Water. She goes into great description of the attached elementals for each of the elements and how they can be utilized by the Masters. All take place in the mid 1800's through the 1930's. Her characters are realistic and yes, there is a bit of romance. Her descriptions of the mores and thoughts in those times are spot on. (I am so glad I live in today's world.) Below is a list of her books in these series in order.
Elemental Masters
The serpent's shadow
The gates of sleep
Phoenix and Ashes
The wizard of London
Reserved for the cat
Elemental Masters Fairy Tales
Firebird (Russian folk tales)
The fire rose (Beauty & the Beast)
The Black Swan (Swan Lake)
I am looking forward to starting her Five hundred kingdoms series.
