Another solid outing of the Elemental Masters long running series! Mercedes Lackey never disappoints and that is such a comfort in these distressing times!
Not much is known by the average person about Annie Oakley except that she was an exceptional markswoman. She could hit those trick shots reliably and did tour with Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show for years.
I also enjoyed that Annie and her friends were in Germany while fighting various supernatural creatures. I was not surprised to see two of these remarkable creatures listed in Wikipedia under the category of "German legendary creatures". Not surprisingly, Ms. Lackey does her research and her versions fit Wikipedia's descriptions.
The other thing I enjoy about most of the Elemental Masters books is that the magic system is the same, but the setting is different each time. Annie Oakley is a famous American historical figure, but I was not as familiar with German folklore (other than the original Brothers Grimm fairy tales).
Highly recommended for alternate history fans, fantasy & folklore fans, and fans of the Elemental Masters series!
