Most of the fantasy I've read is high fantasy, urban fantasy, and other common subgenres. This was what I guess could be called low fantasy. There are no kings, elves, fairies, or fantastical magic. This book was a gritty story about more or less everyday-type people trying to make a difference in their world. There's a little magic, elemental as the title implies, but it's very fundamental, organic, and appears mostly by way of healers and seers, at least in this first book of the Elemental Logic series. It won the 2003 Gaylactic Spectrum award for positive LGBTQ content in SF/Fantasy, as did its sequel in 2005. But despite good writing, I found it hard to follow where the author wanted to go with the plot. It had many moments, but they didn't sum up to a great whole.
