Eloen is the Restoration Mentor of Sylrantheas and the village's most powerful soulsoother. She is described as a skilled healer who kneels in ritual to focus her mind, using burning chips of prime birch to mend severe injuries, such as Fenian’s shattered leg. During the chaotic Cothellon invasion, she is seen as a tragic figure, "bleeding profusely from a bullet wound in her stomach" and unable to heal herself due to the inherent dangers of the magic. Though noted for her prowess, Elanil observes her looking "surprised" when she witnesses Trey's unprecedented healing speed, and Eloen eventually admits she has never seen a more skilled soulsoother.
I just finished this series. Overall it was a good read, an interesting twist on elves, humans,and other creatures.
I did find it hard to track just who was who and when things were happening with the myriad timelines.
The one thing that truly disappointed me was the introduction of JRR Tolkien into the storyline. It felt like a name drop for attention. I was in the last book, it wasn't needed and almost spoiled the entire read for me. Hence only four stars.
These are great stories and I can't wait to read the next one. I reallybdon't want them to end.
I really enjoyed this series, Writer was new to me ,
Glad I purchased these ebooks ,mine forever.I recommend this whole series.
I really liked the plot development in this series of books. I would encourage anyone who enjoys this genre, to read this series. They are a little different to the run of the mill books .
This book just wasn't to my taste in fantasy. I don't read foul language and don't like such darkness. Sorry I ordered the whole series before I realized this.
Loved the 10 book series. Exciting how all the characters merged throughout the books. Had to keep reading no housework for 2 weeks.
The writing was great, but the story was uninspired. After finishing the first book, I did not have enough interest to continue.
Good fun reading. Your use of expletives on occasion was a bit of a shock as they came out of the blue compared to the rest of the narrative, doesn't bother me, just stood out some.
Good stuff
It's a very engrossing series. Definitely doesn't slow down.
