Troublesome neighbors is an enjoyable read where you will find yourself transported to a magical world of elves and fictional tales.The book is about the adventures of its main protagonist, `Lady' Renna of Ren Creek, minute in stature and with a crippling gait that diminishes her confidence, presence and power. Yet these are qualities she will need to protect her people from the neighboring Lord Gorsfeld, who wants to claim control over everyone.Author M.K. Theodoratus describes her Far-Isle fantasy creation as a `snarly half elf-half human population' , and it is certainly anything from normal.Like Lord Joffrey, Gorsfeld asks for Renna's hand in marriage, a union that would merge their lands together, and increase Gosfeld's power and control a great deal. However, Renna declines his offer, though it remains to be seen whether she may have to reconsider his proposal in order to save her people come the sequel.It's nice to read a book that involves elves rather than vampires and werewolves. It has really interesting characters that reminded me more of Lord of the Rings and A Game of Thrones. I must say that right after I finished reading the book, I was eager to learn more about about the author M.K. Theodoratus and if  she plans to release a sequel real soon. Thumbs up for this book. I highly recommend it to everyone,  specially those bookworms who fancy elves and fictional tales.
