About this listen

The second installment in the Elvish Trilogy is a heart-wrenching tale of lies, love, and a world on the brink of war.

In the wake of Queen Rishiana's death, everything is changing. With Farah in power and the southerners growing ever stronger, Ellina must learn to navigate her new position in Farah's court, all while hiding her true intentions; namely, passing information to the northern resistance without anyone, including Venick, ever knowing.

Heartbroken by Ellina's seeming betrayal, Venick is finally returning home - this time, with a band of northern elves in his company. Yet as Venick works to unite humans and northerners against Farah's army, he can't help but feel like he's missing something. He's been wrong about Ellina before. How can he trust himself to separate her truths from her lies?

As the war escalates, Venick and Ellina soon discover that their enemies' plots are even darker than they imagined. But this time, winning will come at a cost-one with a price neither is prepared to pay.

I am hooked on the story and can’t wait to listen to the third book. Narrator is brilliant and the story is captivating, good humorous parts and emotional as well as on edge of your seat.

Really Enjoyable

This is the second of what I believe will be a Trilogy. I preferred the first book but that shouldn't take away from this one. The way the author develops the lore and carries forward the story is excellent. I felt that I cared less for some of the background characters as I would have liked. I'll not give any spoilers but there were times I really wanted to know just a little bit more (especially the bit about the main characters childhood).
Theses all tiny nuggets of constructive feedback and overall though I had a total blast with this. I was so excited when it released and I can't wait for book 3 "Ember" when it's finished. S.G Prince should be really proud of what she's put out so far and I hope she remains in the fantasy genre.

So much potential

Often the second part of a trilogy is slower paced filler. Not so with Elder which is even more intriguing than the first, Elvish. Great narration as well. Looking forward to the next book!

Excellent sequel to Elvish

Sadly I camt say much about the book, my mind was constantly wandering and I could remember anything about it. I gave it to chapter 18 however as much as the narrator was good in marking each of the of the individual characters they were to my mind dull.
It's sad because this is the type of series that I normally really enjoy.

was hoping it would improve on the 1st book
