Review # 1 was written on 2007-07-16 00:00:00 Rick Falcino Let not this cheesy cover fool you! Published only a few years before the legendary Andre Norton died, this is the final episode of a trilogy started long ago. For those tired of immortal, wise, nice elves, this is refreshing - the elves are the bad guys. Altogether a nice, relaxing read. I'd recommend the whole Elvenbane series for any fantasy/scifi lover.

Review # 2 was written on 2009-01-20 00:00:00 Anda Luters In the fantasy genre there are two types of elves. The first type are short, tend to wear lederhosen, love to sing songs as they hang around workshops or gardens, are very loyal and diligent, and often have an amusing accent and amusingly odd shaped noses. The second type are tall, thin, pale, and gorgeous, well dressed, good archers, very good at magic, and very well assured of their high ranking social status. The Halfblood chronicles take the second type of elves to a whole new level. In this series elves rule a Middle Earth type setting. Elves are the masters, humans are the slaves, and intelligent, magic welding, talking dragons live in secret, worried about exposing themselves to the magic that the elven kind weld. For the most part the elves treat humans as animals, but they also like to make harems of the prettiest humans. They try and regulate human breeding, because a human with human magic combined with an elf with elven magic results not in a doubling, but a squaring of magic - but occasionally a half-breed escapes their purges. The plot revolves around a half elven / half human who was born and managed to elude death. She was raised in secret by the dragons, and wrecks havoc on the elves when she comes of age. A fun read for when your in the mood for some trashy fantasy.
