honniker 's review for:
The King of Elfland's Daughter
by Lord Dunsany
Much like the way time passes in Elfland, is the writing of this book.
The main thing I learned from reading this is that if you come upon a man drawing water from a well, who is wearing a conical hat and has a mystical air, he's probably a wizard.
Okay, I'll actually review the book now. Honestly, this book was somewhat disappointing. It all comes together, sort of, but here's how it goes:
First Few Chapters:
Start out a bit slowly because one is getting used to the language and writing style.
Next Few Chapters:
Extremely interesting, excitement builds as Alveric looks for the princess.
A Few Chapters Later:
Getting into the book, a few more exciting things happen.
Huge Long Middle Section
... Uh, guys... Guys. Um... Who is running Erl while Alveric runs around with the loonies looking for Elfland and Orion spends all his time hunting unicorns
Getting Towards the End
And now the trolls are talking. What was the point of that chapter even?
The Three Chapters
um... okay... I guess I get the moral of the story. Sort of.
It's supposedly a grand-daddy of the fantasy genre, but I just found it really disappointing. Perhaps it is because I am from the fields we know and have nothing Elfin in me.
