Das Betörende Lied Des Elfenkönigs (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
I GOT MY HAPPY ENDING. Spoiler Alert:I am so happy with the way things ended up. I love that Ellysetta got her family back, her bond in freaking place-AFTER SO MANY FREAKING PAGES-and the bad people perished. There are some loose ends that I would like to see tied up-her twin sisters fates and bond mates (although we have a small hint of that already), Mellinda (I'm not sure how to spell her name..the girl created by bad whats his face and who freed Shan and his mate) and her traveling companion. I don't know if I just missed her fate(?) I might have skipped a tiny bit at the end there. But I am wholly satisfied and have no compulsion whatsoever to read these for a good long while. I think I need some fluffy nonsense with no war. I was checking my notes and I realised I read the first book in this series back in 2008. It is a wonder I never needed to go back and reread before starting each new book. This is the final novel and we finally get to the big confrontation between Ellie and the High Mage of Eld. I wasn't sure what to expect as Ellie and Rain have faced so many challenges before. And I am quite happy to report that in term of story development I was quite happy with this one.It is not and easy book to read as it has much violence and quite a few known characters die but I was happy with Ellie and Rain's development and how they deal with obstacles they find on their way to fighting the war. Their confrontation with the High Mage is also painful to read and Wilson manages to keeps us guessing about their fate for a while. Ok maybe not so much guessing (this is romance after all) but I was reading sitting on the edge of the couch for a while. This is definitely a book filled with tense emotional scenes, some for the good and others for the bad. I had a few problems with the pacing of the story. I think at times it was a bit slow and I just wanted to move on and get to the interesting bits. I also think this book left almost as many threads open and closed ones so I'll definitely be reading her next book set in this world. I really want to know more about the girl that helped Ellie's parents - Melliandra, about all those Dahl'reisen and their families, about Ellie's sisters and about Gaelen.Since the author has a new book coming out soon but of different series and I can only urge her to write faster!! And I'll be getting that book too.
