My librarian got me started reeling this author's book and I've been on a wondrous trip ever since, bouncing between fantasy and mystery and sci-fi. This one continues the story of Adrina, Seth, Vilmos and the kingdoms. The writing continues to be too notch and as you'd expect from a thriller writer, lots of mystery and thrills.
Book three in the Kingdom and the Elves of the Reaches series continues the epic fantasy. This isn't my favorite. I thought it was "ok". It seems to drag on and never really get anywhere. I give it three stars. I will be finishing up the series, I hope the last book is a little more interesting.
I raced through all three books and am loving it. The author spins the story so well, with dashes of drama, mystery and romance wrapped around the action. Strong writing, good characters.
Adrina's return to Imtal is as momentous an occasion as I hoped it would be. Read this series for the riveting drama and action or for the vast world and intelligently drawn characters. But read it!! One of the best ones going.
The first two books are great reads and the story gets deeper and better from here. Makes you wonder if Erravane will be back and who the next villain will be. Can't stop reading.
