I bought this book after reading the only 2 reviews available, both said it was great. And the story does flow along nicely.  what I don't like is the presentation of the elves.  It comes up continuely.  one red flag is the elf lady named cheryl. cheryl? an elf named cheryl? really? then there is the road in the forest and towns and stores, inn's and inn keepers, ...all very modern. all very much like a human world would be. I grew up with Terry Brooks, Cherryh, tolken and others that have a great deal of creativity when presenting elves.  the "elves" in this book, are human's with long ears.  sorry. it just ruined the whole book for me.
