Elvenblood

Summary: For crying out loud, where's the third book already?!?
Review: The first book in this series, The Elvenbane, was excellent, but I experienced a feeling of dissatisfication at the end of Elvenblood. The plot was more confusing and the resolution of the conflict seemed abrupt and very connived, as if Norton and Lackey were in a hurry to finish the book. It was still an wonderful read, but I expected more, especially coming after such a phenomenal first book.

Summary: Excellent
Review: The way the book was put together and the plot was amazing, treachery of the noble dragon? The Characters all were very interesting people which is to be expected by these two writers. The fact that the powerful wizards were to be captured by seemingly savages was an interesting twist to the plot. The only downside was how one of the characters (an oppressed elven girl) was so extremely depressing as to make you want the character to killed, But she EVENTUALLY gets better. (Thank GOD)

Summary: Outstanding, Vivid, & Imaginative!
Review: This book is a pure enjoyment to read, cover to cover. Norton & Lackey have combined for a team that puts you on the edge of your seat. It feels as if you're inside the story, and makes you want to be a part of that life. Elvenblood, as well as Elvenbane, receive 2 thumbs up as well as 5+ stars! I hope to hear they come out with a 3rd Halfblood Chronicles!

Summary: This is not a new book.... so confused
Review: This book was originally published in 1995 by Tor... 2 years after the release of Elvenbane. Is this a revision of some sort? I do agree that this book falls short of it's predecessor and the ending is VERY meek, almost leaving it open for a 3rd book.

Summary: don't get your hopes up
Review: Well, I really hate to say anything bad about one of my favorite authors, but this book really is a disappointment. It'd be ok I suppose if "The Elvenbane" didn't come before it. But with such an amazing prior book, it just doesn't measure up! After reading Elvenbane, I looked forward to the next book for a real long time, but when Elvenblood finally came out, it really disappointed. The book is too bland, not much excitement, action, not much of a plot at all to tell the truth. It just can't move you like the first book did. And one more thing I can't stand is how the characters paired up in the end. To think that such a nice boy would end up with such a disgustingly depressing wimp of an elven girl.

Summary: Wheres the third book!
Review: Why isnt there a third book, the second ends half way through the story! and if the previous statement about ElvenBorn is correct, where is it!!!!! I dont believe its not meant to be a trilogy (at the least). That ending is far too open, so much more needs to happen, and since when do they use the title "Book Two of the Halfblood Chronicles" if theres not meant to be more ... arrgghhh im so frustrated!
