A review by lordbane68
The Elven by James A. Sullivan, Bernhard Hennen

5.0

This story is epic in scope, and spans many, many years. At some points I felt nostalgia for things that happened earlier in the book as though I had aged along with the characters during the journey. The sense of camaraderie among allies and friends within the book, especially during the battles, was very inspiring, and there are several battles. There are also many well written tender momemts, emotional overtures, and romantic interludes between the characters.

For the audiobook version, the narration was superb! As I've said before, narration can make, or break, a novel and this one certainly proved the "making" side. The narrator would quickly shift between an old man and a young girl, and everything in between, in such an easy, natural manner that you really felt like you were hearing different people, even though you knew better.

I thoroughly enjoyed this novel and recommended that others read/listen to it.
