Before we begin, I want to acknowledge that I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.I’m a huge fan of epic fantasy and I was intrigued by the premise behind the book. The Na’zorans are led by a tyrant king obsessed with wiping out the elves and conquering all the land as far as he can see. For their part, the elves respond by raiding farming villages along the kingdom’s border.In the middle of the ongoing war is a half breed Yori as he goes on a quest to try to bridge the gap between the two worlds. Aside from an initial encounter in his farming village with his human relatives, he avoids the war and learns how to create runed weapons for both people. He eventually returns once the war is over. His role to show the other parts of the world away from the war was entertaining, but I expected more from him.This story reminded me of the conflict between the United States and the Native American tribes when the government wanted to take their land. It’s a pleasant reminder of what can happen if good people stand by and allow something to happen to others.Overall, I thought the story was excellent and a fun read.
