War of the Wildlands Tales of Nol’Deron by Lana AxeThis well written book is filled with Elves, Shaman, and Mages [and Humans – the flies in the ointment of peace – as always!] who find themselves embroiled in a bitter war and having to flee their homes, only to be forced to take up refuge in a hostile environment as they gather forces to reclaim their land.This intricately woven story has it all – interpersonal relationships, life, death, love, deception, and leaders with self-serving agendas, set within a richly detailed world that paints a lavish verbal picture and pulls you in and put you in the middle of the action . . . in the line of fire. The storyline does a bit of jumping around from time to time – but I like that aspect in storytelling if it’s done well . . . it keeps me on my toes. I don’t like books I can sleep through – if you take my meaning.War of the Wildlands – Tales of Nol’Deron by Lana Axe is a labor of love for the author that is as easy to see – as it is to read! The characters face real-time, real-life situations in a magical world we are privileged to see through the minds eye of this gifted author!If you love magical settings with intriguing creatures so real you could reach out and touch them – then you are going to love this book! Guaranteed!
