I like this seires for multipule reasons. I LOVE the art and the dynamic world that Kazu has created. The concept for the whole thing is ridicuously cool. But some times I feel that the charater development for a few characters feels a bit off to me. But Emily gets the worst of it. I feel like she grew up too fast, and that all of the sudden she knows everything about her amulet. And this is just my opinion, but I have never seen her smile more that two times in a book. Also, (KINDA MAYBE SPOILER ALERT) I think the Elf King was way to easily defeated. But I could also see how this could work, considering that the Elf King is dead already. It is a symbol that hewas never truely the enemy, just the puppet of something larger. I do like the character development of Trellis though. It´s not a smooth ride, but character development isn´t clean. Also I have something to say about Trellis...WHY IS HE ALL OF THE SUDDEN BLUE??? Anyways another thing that I love the mst about these books is Gulfen, and the Nation of the Elves. I think that it is a funny name considering that it is in fact a monarchy, not a democracy but whatever. ANOTHER thing that I like is the elves design, I like how they are completly original, and that they are not Lord of the Rings elves. For some strange reason I like how they live in a desert. Anyways I have been droning on long enough about this book. Sorry. Thank you so much if you have read this all the way through. I hope it was well worth your time. TOOTLES! :)

I always wondered what kind of accent the elves had... I think a rough britishy accent would suite them best. Also, why does Trellis look younger as the book series continues?
