Fun Fantasy, Nov 5 2008
By Dian Pitts "fiction aficionado" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Prince of the Elves (Paperback)
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 1 2008
By micheletheartist "michelemm" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Prince of the Elves (Paperback)
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.

One of the best fantasy books I've read in a long time!, Oct 24 2008
By R. Malove - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Prince of the Elves (Paperback)
This is one of the best fantasy books I've had the pleasure of reading in a long time. Readers will instantly find themselves empathizing with Jerhad, an ordinary elf who finds himself caught in an extraordinary sea of events.
My heart was in my throat several times as Jerhad and his companions made the journey from innocence to the saving of an entire world. The distinguished Stanton, the sweet-yet-sassy Andreanna and the host of dwarves, giants and humans that crossed their path are instantly lovable characters. I laughed hysterically watching Andreanna make her place with the "males" she was traveling with-the book so perfectly highlighted the misogynistic views of most of the men in the age before women's lib, and you could just SEE the looks on their faces when she was done with them!
I loved watching the combined armies sweep through the trolls at Breezon like something out of a Tolkien novel. It didn't seem to matter that I knew the "good guys" would win in the end-I still found myself sitting on the edge of my seat and hoping!
The attempts to blend romance into the story were stilted, but I still found myself enjoying watching Jerhad act like a...well, a man as he fell in love! The ending was heartbreaking.
The Prince of the Elves beautifully blends magic, mystery, good and evil in the form of one innocent elf and one evil sorcerer, and the end of the book definitely leaves you hanging on and waiting for the next book. If you love great fantasy, you're going to love this book!
Listmania!
