Blood of Elves was decent, I read it relatively quickly. It was odd that it was the first book of the series but started in an odd place without much explanation as to what happened beforehand. From my understanding, there are short stories leading up to this story so that may explain the odd starting place. It also ended rather abruptly but it is a series. The story didn't have much of a climax or anything, it basically just followed the characters around to their various encounters and such. Worth the read but not a favorite.
