Book Description

Series: Elven Nations Trilogy | Publication Date: January 6, 2009

The classic story of Kith-Kanan and the Kinslayer Wars

The leader of the Silvanesti dies, leaving his twin sons to promote very different course for the elves they lead equally. Other nations see only weakness in the elves, and the brothers cannot lay aside their own differences to lead their people when a bitter territory war begins. It becomes a war of elf against elf, of isolation versus connection, until Kith-Kanan and his followers found the homeland of Qualinost. But their troubles do not stop there.

All in all I was really happy with this trilogy. The characters really drew me in and I enjoyed the plot line, even though it was a bit predictable at times.

However, the thing that kept me from giving it a full five stars was...they need to get their money back from whoever was the editor on these books. I have never seen so many blatant typos and grammar errors in a book before. 'Now' being written as 'vow', dialogue missing quotation marks, words being duplicated (such as "I I wanted to.." ). It's not enough to detract from the overall enjoyment of the book, but it might bother some people who get annoyed at little mistakes like that.

This series was awesome! I loved reading it! Only problem that made it kind of hard to read was that the editor did a HORRIBLE job! There's about a typo on every page, if you average out the good pages with the ones with three to five mistakes. My advice is, if you're hinking about buying it, is to see if you can get it from a different publisher. However, the story itself is wonderful, full of action, and an altogether great read.

These set of books are a great edition to the dragonlance series. I would definitely recommend these books to anyone who reads dragonlance and hasnt read them yet. These books take place before the first chronicals. This series develops the story of how the elven nations split and some what about the animosity that lies as a buffer between these two nations. Each book is a great story each one was hard to put down.
