La battaglia degli albi

Gelungene Fortsetzung, aber gefühlt zu viele Blickwinkel. Storytechnisch absolut mitreißend, aber hier und da waren mir die Blickwinkel zu viel. Sinthoras und Caphalor bekommen hier eher eine Nebenrolle und andere schieben sich öfter nach vorn. Die vielen verschiedenen Blickwinkel sind allerdings nötig Leggi tutto

I do not know if I should like or hate the Älfar. They are monsters after all, but then again, they are good to each other, they just dislike every other race that is below them...right.

Unfortunately, while the entire Alfar army is off invading an old enemy shows up to invade the Alf homeland. On top of that a pissed off relative of the ex-boyfriend of Sinderell Leggi tutto

I must admit the book has something of the great first entry of the series, which I read back in 2009. Entertaining anti-heroics with Sinthoras and Caphalor ensure that the first third of the book is good reading material, if you don't mind the älfar being edgy all the time.
