I will read this book because I already adore the author's creativity in his fictional work. Despite the slightly confusing names of the characters, I am confident in my understanding. I am eager to journey with Salal and Ahmid right from the beginning of the novel and experience the adventures. The reviewer has done a great job highlighting all the positive aspects of the book and I believe it to be absolutely amazing.

In this review, we are presented with the rebirth of the elves who almost lost everything as they fought against their own countrymen for their autonomy from the rule of Naataros. With themes of love and loyalty intertwining, the story is beautifully written with realistic characters as well as motives and pasts that relay the depth of the struggle.

I absolutely love everything about this book - title, cover, genre and especially description! I can't wait to read it, because most times Fantasy relates to Kingdoms, readers get the threat of politics and intrigues that offer interesting points of view on actual situations and historical events. Thanks for your recommendation and congratulations on BOTD!

I sampled the book, and it kicks off with a promising pace. I am a fan of action, and I am certain the book has that based on this review. It therefore definitely fits to be my next read. Nice review.
