Summary: The Kingdoms -- book 2 is even better
Review: After reading The Kingdoms and the Elves of the Reaches in 2 nights I immediately began The Kingdoms and the Elves of the Reaches II and guess what? It's even better! It has more great characters AND much more suspense - the ending is impossible to figure out! I recommend the The Kingdoms books to ALL ages!

Summary: the coolest book ever!!!
Review: As I said in a previous review, Robert Stanek has captured the hearts and minds of readers with his wonderful books. In this second book in the acclaimed Kingdoms and the Elves series he continues the adventures of Princess Adrina Alder, Vilmos Tabborrath, and the elf Seth.

Kingdoms and the elves is one of the few series where the books get better and better as you go onto the next book. Robert dives rigth into the action in this second book revealing more of the magical world he has created. The Keeper Martin's Tales are the story of the struggle between good and evil, right and wrong, and it all begins when trouble begins in the kingdoms of men and elves.

If you have read the first one, you must read the rest, go on join the magic.

Summary: The Kingdsom and the Elves #2
Review: From the first sentences to the last, Robert Stanek engages the reader with his book The Kingdoms & The Elves Of The Reaches II. Set in the magical world of Ruin Mist, Vilmos, Seth, Adrina and the others are back for new adventures and more challenges. Great story telling makes you feel like you are right there with them. You get a bird's eye view of Vilmos learning Magic, Adrina wrestling with the darkness, Emel being the true friend that he is, Seth and Galan reaching the world of men. They face many dangers, get kidnapped, attacked, and everything starts to come full circle. Robert Stanek is very adept at creating complex characters that you love from the first. They are far from black & white characters so often seen in pulp fiction. His characters aren't all bad or all good. They are very human with flaws and they make mistakes, for which there are consequences. You won't want to put it down. The appeal of The Kingdoms and Elves is so universal that the readers will love it for many years to come.

Review: I absolutely LOVE this book from the beggining to the end. Fantasy, Mystery, Adventure... All of these combined into this great story. Once you read it, you don't want to put it down!! You never can guess whats going to happen next. I also love Magic Lands (another book from Robert Stanek). It's exciting and fun to read! I'm definetly looking foward for more Robert Stanek's great books!!!

Summary: I LOVE Keeper Martin's Tales!
Review: I can't remember the last time a book series has made me feel this good. I read the first 4 books in a matter of 3 weeks and then went back to read again. This is the book that got me to love the series. I'm can't wait for the fifth book.

Summary: Better than the first book, great!
Review: I decided to read KIngdoms and Elves of the Reach. When I started to read I realized that I was going to love the book. It is magical and fun! I already read the first two and just today I got the third and fourth. I already started reading them and I can assure you that it is going to be great.

Review: I especially liked the battle in this second book. I enjoyed it on the whole as much as book one. The magical world is what I love about fantasy.

Summary: So many good books - this isn't one of them
Review: I love fantasy; Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, Artemis Fowl, The Golden Compass, A Wrinkle in Time - bought them, read them with my son, loved them. This book cannot compare in any way to those books. Those books were exciting, this book is boring. ...
This is not a good book.
