Okay, what is wrong with this picture?  11 likes, and NOT A SINGLE REVIEW of this story?  I, for one, am glad for the opportunity to set the table, and talk about my appreciation for Of Dark Elves and Dragons.Having readMaverick, I can offer some general observations on the author.  First he seems to have an affinity with outcasts of society.  In Maverick, the protagonist is an exiled wizard.  In Of Dark Elves, the protagonist is both a dark elf, and a half elf.  On top of that, Alan Feralis, is a DRUID, with high proficiency in summoning elementals.A dark elf hero is certainly not a new idea.  After all, R.A. Salvatore spent years on the NY Times best sellers list with his tales of Drizzt Do'Urden, the dark elven ranger.  But a half elven, dark elven druid is hitting new grounds, as far as I'm concerned.A second observation is the author's gift of story telling.  Greg Curtis knows how to put together a story that is easy for readers to follow, but manages to come up with surprising twists in the plot.  And therefore, the reader can't predict how the story will end.Of Dark Elves and Dragons is a story about an outcast, but powerful druid, who accepts a request for help to save the world.  And by his actions, and valor, Alan becomes an esteemed and honored member of society.The morale of this story is to judge a man by his actions, rather than the color of his skin.
