4.0 out of 5 stars Another book that shouldn't be out of print!, March 7, 2000

This review is from: A Child of Elvish (Paperback)

Ms. Berberick's characterization gets a lot stronger in this sequel to Jewels of Elvish. The story wasn't quite as exciting, but still really good. This, like the first book, really shouldn't be out of print. I had to hunt for months at several used bookstores before I was able to find them. If you find them, grab 'em...quickly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific alternate-world fantasy novel, November 4, 2000

This review is from: A Child of Elvish (Paperback)

The Jewels of Elvish lay deep within a mountain: emerald, sapphire, diamond, topaz, and fiery ruby bound in a golden crown: Proud Ruler of Nature, gentle King of Air, wild Prince of Water, golden Thane of Fire, all held in check by the fearsome Mistress of War.

Long ago a strong-willed queen stole the crown to save her people and broke it apart to field fire and water to defeat the fearsome Sorcerer who was ravaging her land. Now only her ghost waits in the deep caverns, waiting for someone to help her restore the balance she has undone. Her last hope may be a child made for magic . . .
