So, i have read a couple of this authers books before and have always found the stories line to flow smooothly, carrying the reader deeper into the world he was creating. At times, i have found his work, a little redundant. this time his world is at once familiar and unexpected; for example, instead of making the elves noble,wise,aloof,superior, dark, or generally inexplicable he decides to humanize them. i generally didn't mind because i figured its a new take and since elves don't really exist i am not sure u can mischaracterize them. this i guess brings us to the point, if i have one, that the book is not a bad read and i found it to be worth the money and, more importantly, my time. This book may not be for people who have a firm ideal of how all aspects of their fantasy should play out.
