Quick Review: Blood of Elves
Though this time it’s presented as a proper book, the structure still has something of a short story feel to it, jumping to certain largely self-contained scenes and playing them out. They’re connected and it creates a story from them, but it’s not quite right and there’s still little actual world building, despite the author giving the impression that he really knows what he’s going for.
That said, it does manage to touch upon a fair number of important issues and contains brilliant moments. Often said moments show up in dialogues, which certainly seem to be the preferred means of presenting the action and usually do it wonderfully, with added witticisms that make it an even better read.
Rating: 4/5
