I believe the author also tried to sneak in some morals and positive attitudes in that the main character would *eek I dunno if this is a spoiler* remark how she doesn’t need to be beautiful for her husband but it would be nice to be appreciated. My descriptions honestly don’t do them justice, just go read it!! She has morals and a strong sense of right and wrong I love that in a character. May I just say that Farrendel is such a sweetheart and I loved the Elven wedding there was simple gestures from the Elven culture that were so symbolic and just hit so deep (you’ll know what I mean if you read it).Įssie is a bubbly, smart character with a can-do attitude and independence. The proposal of a marriage alliance to a royal from the Elf Land, Tarenhèil, initially started as a joke between the princess and her brother (who is the king) however they considered it seriously when the scary, cold, expressionless charming young elf prince called Farrendel volunteered to marry her.įarrendel is presented as a stoic, cold (but a fearsome warrior) character like most of the elves however we find out that he has a soft side and a dark past… It’s a little like the film Avatar in that we get to explore this foreign Elven culture with the main character (MC).Īnyway, our MC is a human princess called Elspeth (Essie for short) who is from a kingdom called Escarland. Go in with a fresh mind as it will make the experience 100 times better. I couldn’t help but compare it to LOTR thanks to my Tolkien film marathonĭON’T DO THAT! This book is in a league of its own.
