 Prince of the Elves Sep 14, 2009
I very much enjoyed reading Prince of the Elves. It takes the reader on a fantasty adventure filled with action, mystery, magic, humor and romance. It is written in such a way as to evoke a range of emotions in the reader which to me is a sign of a very well written book. I am looking very forward to reading the next book in the series.
 great fantasy read Nov 09, 2008
Prince of Elves is a fast-paced fantasy thrill ride full of the standard fantasy creatures, but none of them come off as standard. It is a great read with memorable characters and dialogue that come alive in your imagination. The details and the imagery are wonderful; I was quickly absorbed into this world and Jehard's adventures. I am glad that this book will be part of a series...the story is too good to be contained in one book. Like seemingly everyone else, I'm looking forward to the next one!
Fun Fantasy Nov 05, 2008
Prince of the Elves was a good read. While it contains all the fantasy elements such as Elves, Giants, Faerie, Dwarves, Trolls and magic there are often surprises that defy sterotypes. Readers of Tolkein and Robert Jordan will enjoy this saga.
Jehard's quest is filled with the unexpected. The companions he picks up along the way are likeable and well developed. I especially like the way the female characters are defined. It is interesting to watch Jehard mature during his trek.
I am looking forward to the next books. I find myself wondering about some of the lesser characters and hope to see them developed into stronger characters in future releases. If you enjoy fantasy, you will not be disappointed in this book
Good fantasy reading Nov 01, 2008
I very much enjoyed reading Prince of the Elves. Although the standard elves, dwarves, trolls etc are there, they are unique enough to make interesting reading. The characters are real and believable. Starting with Jerhad the young elf, the tale moves quickly from commonplace everyday life to a journey to battles, as he meets others (Stanton, the ex-military commander, Andreanna, the feisty human woman, Morlock the Giant) and gains allies against evil wizards and trolls. Magic in this land is intriguing, too, from the elven magic that Jerhad discovers within himself to the Druid magic to evil wizardry. I am looking forward to the next book, I really want to see what happens next.
A Prince among Princes Oct 30, 2008
This book starts out quick and doesn't have a lot of slow spots like other books of this ilk. The core characters could best be described as realistic, innocent and sassy! With the vivid descriptions of the surroundings I was able to completely build the map of the book in my head. One of the best things about the book is the character development and growth. I really wonder where a future book may take things. One thing is for sure, I cant wait for the next one!
