Elven Winter (The Saga of the Elven Book 2)

I noticed some reviewers were dissatisfied that the story did not carry on, so to speak, but what it did do , seeing how the 1st book moves through time, was to fill in some of the interesting gaps. I found this book to be very entertaining as it filled in the larger picture of book one and was well written and for me an enjoyable read. I didn't find it disappointing as it gave more depth to the whole and was a good read

An excellent mystery thriller worth keeping to read again.

I have to say this is a good and engaging read thanks to the masterful craftsmanship of the novel. Where it looses stars is the storyline abruptly ending at the end of the novel and the actual story line itself. If you enjoyed the first of this series as much as I did, then jumping onto a storyline that parallels part of the storyline in book 1 (The Elven) was a bit of a let down. You know the fate of some key characters and you are denied the thrill of seeing the follow on plots develop from book 1. That said, I will read book 3 for completion and ask any future story timelines be linear to book 1...

I loved the elven despite being a huge book and taking ages to read. The ending was dissatisfying but I was happy to leave the story there. This book felt unnecessary and I'm not sure adds anything to the original story. However now I have read it I am intrigued by the third book and kind of want to find out what happens. Does this book suffer from second book syndrome; where it doesn't live up to the first and is kinda the lull between that and the third?? I suppose I will only find out by reading the rest of the story.

The second book in this trilogy. The first book was an epic and I immediately ordered book 2. Many of the same characters re-appear. Another enjoyable read. I am already in to book 3.

Oh, I have been looking for a book like this for years. I havent read something for great sinec The Belagariad by, and this is it. You see the secret to great Fantasy writing is to build a love/ Hate relationship between the reader and the Main character. If the character continually lets the ready down, but at the same time the reader starts to understand the characters flaws and why they are there, you have a great recipe. This book series has it. Happy days!
