Customer Reviews

Elves are jolly grand fun!

Mercedes Lackey handles elves like no one else. She's always fun and entertaining. The SERRAted edge books are some of my favorites (though the first one was slightly inferior). Wheels of Fire is anothe prime crazy-elves book--but it was unfinished. Though one of the character's lives is traced into Chrome Circle, which I actually read before this one, the rest seem to be dropped. I expect a sequel. It's always a sequel...but all the character build up led to a disappointing flop in the end. I wanted to see more from Cindy, more from Jamie, more from Bob, more from Al, more from Frank, more from Joe! The ending felt hurried, as if Misty was on a tight deadline and realized it a chapter away from the book's conclusion. The only character I was even partially satisfied with in the end was Sarah, a ghost.So, I would say that this book is good, and definitely worth a read (or five), but not Lackey's best, and requires a sequel.

What happens when elves meet a dangerous cult?

I just finished reading this only yesterday. I was pleased that it was so long, but I still thought it ended kind of abruptly, I know Joe's story continues in Chrome Circle, but I was still going "but, but, but, uh, uh....". I liked the characters (although Alinor got a bit annoying at the end) and the descriptions of the cult compound freaked me out. All in all, not perfect but awfully darn close!
