Blurb:
The sixteenth novel
in the magical alternate history Elemental Masters series follows sharpshooter
Annie Oakley as she tours Europe and discovers untapped powers.
Annie Oakley has always suspected there is something "uncanny" about
herself, but has never been able to put a name to it. But when Buffalo Bill's
Wild West Show goes on tour through Germany, Bill temporarily hires a new
sharpshooter to be part of his "World Wide Congress of Rough Riders":
a woman named Giselle, who also happens to be an Elemental Master of Air.
Alongside this new performer, Annie discovers that she and her husband, Frank,
are not simply master marksman, but also magicians of rare ability.
As they travel and perform, Annie must use her newfound knowledge and rare
skill to combat creatures of the night scattered across the countryside, who
threaten both the performers and the locals. Annie's got her gun, and it's
filled with silver bullets.
My review:
All I know about Annie Oakley I
learned from Annie Get Your Gun. That being said I loved this alternate history
tale of an American icon. I loved that Annie and Franks love was closer and he
was supportive. I much preferred this version of Annie. She is strong, driven a
bit penurious and truly talented. Like any athlete she strives to be the best
at whatever she sets her sights on. Magic is a whole nother thing, I enjoyed
the pre WWI tour of the Germanic states. The author hits this one out of the
park.
