Summary

The international bestseller and epic adventure

A fierce and merciless demon has been unleashed on the world, spreading destruction and bloodshed in both the human and the elven realms. Northlander Jarl Mandred witnesses the ruthless attack on his men, and he seeks vengeance with the help of the elf queen, Emerelle. Despite Mandred's barbaric human nature, the queen orchestrates an elfhunt joined by the two strongest warriors in Albenmark to pursue the beast. Farodin, the fiercest fighter in the land, and Nuramon, the healer, seize the opportunity to make history alongside Mandred in a life-defining series of battles waged in parallel universes.

The Elven is an epic tale, bringing heroes together across the boundaries of their worlds to avenge past losses and influence fates yet to be decided.

I didn't want it to end.

I've never considered myself to be a fan of the fantasy genre but after completing The Elven I've joined the converted. The authors weaved a tale of heroic deeds, magical lands, mythical creatures and made it all believable. I laughed, cheered and cried. I really didn't want it to end.

Obviously a translation, but good

This was obviously a translation, but I enjoyed the story once I got used to the style.

Wonderful story well told.

I love a good epic tale and this did not disappoint. The narrator especially did a brilliant job of bringing it to life, as well as having a voice and diction well suited to audio performance. I've listened to this several times in a row to get every nuance of the story and it's been very enjoyable.

Long epic

Entertaining and inventive but the characters lack depth and there seem to me to be some serious logic flaws.

A grand saga

It took me a little while to get into this book as the first few minutes has a lot going on, but once past that this is a grand saga and enjoyable to listen to.

A long tale without a point !

That's a lot of hours with imperceptible voices and a pointless yarn. I will never get these long, long hours back!
