Book Reviews of The Kingdoms and the Elves of the Reaches (Signature Illustrated Edition, Keeper Martin's Tales Book 1) (Keeper Martin's Tales)
Book Review: One of the truly great fantasy series!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book pulls you in from the first few pages. The writer does an excellent job of getting the reader to immediately empathize with the main characters - Vilmos, Adrina, and Seth. The story is interesting and intriquing, and the author develops many of the other characters fairly well.
The book was enjoyable, and even several years later remains as one of the few fantasy series that I often recommend to people who are not devoted fantasy readers.
We follow Vilmos, Adrina, and Seth through his many trials and tribulations. Throughout most of the book, the author gets the reader involved in all aspects of their life and makes us care about them. They become like friends.
I also found the end notes about the peoples, places and things in the world interesting. Without giving too much away about the ending, be prepared to listen to -- or read -- Kingdoms and the Elves of the Reaches #2.

About the book: After the Great War that divided the peoples, the kingdoms of men plunged into a Dark Age that lasted 500 years. To heal the lands and restore the light, the great kings decreed that magic and all that is magical, be it creature, man, or device, shall be cleansed to dust. The cleansing raged for so long that no human could recall a time without it and it is in this time that the Dark Lord Sathar returned from the dark beyond. The one hope of the peoples of Ruin Mist was Queen Mother, the elf queen of old. She saw a way out of everlasting darkness, a path that required the union of the divided peoples. And so it began.
