Elvenblood
by Mercedes Lackey, Andre Norton
3.5
I enjoyed this book, possibly because it's different from the other stuff I've been reading. The story, setting, and characters are interesting. Some of the transitions and character growth were less than smooth, and the romances all came at the same time, two somewhat suddenly. Although there was fighting and the beginning (I think) of a war, the violence is kept to a minimum, and there is hardly any gore. While some things may be insinuated, the romances are 100% clean and the book dwells on the emotions of those romances, rather than the physical aspects of them.
I liked that one of the main characters was different from your typical heroine: a woman bound by tradition who chafed under that role, but was too timid and browbeaten to do anything about it.
