Spirit Elfen by Ella J. Smyth
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Another fantasy for the end of summer. I breezed right through it and started the next. So last night I tried to read the book I thought I was in, and it turned out to be this one that I already read. I thought maybe it all sounded familiar because it was the intro presented after the first book. No. Even as far as the last chapter it was familiar. But I enjoyed getting the review before realizing I was actually finished and ready for book 3 (in fact, I was 12% into it). I almost think this set is short enough to be one larger book.
I think the above paragraph is my example of the review. It was a fun read with characters from book 1 with the fae. Oh, my favorite part, it was set in Germany. Wish there would have been more of a feeling of the land. Yeah. It won’t go into my favorite books. But a good distraction. Definitely not for preteens or younger teens.
But try it. You might love it!
Here‘s a real impression of Germany: https://reiszwolf.wordpress.com/2020/08/31/a-trip-to-an-awesome-place-the-duchess-anna-amalia-library/
While it’s not fantasy, it looks like coming out of a fairytale.
The Beast’s library! Love it! In my review, when I mention the lack of Germany descriptors, I meant the woods and creatures. And maybe the author did but I wanted to sink into it more. A ‘me’ thing, not necessarily a fault of the author.
Ah, the woods. Nowadays, German woods are mostly regulated plantations. Walking through them is still nice.
Yeah, I’ve not been there but my dad used to tell me stories. Now I realize it was stories as he was a POW so I wonder how much he built up for family than actuality.
Sorry, what’s a POW?
There are few places where you can get lost in the woods – otherwise, there is a network of access roads everywhere. At least that’s been for the last 30 years or so. Before that, some romantic weird woods might have struck the lone wanderer 😁
I don’t mind, and those woods are surrounding my village- I‘m walking there every other day and the air is fine.
Prisoner of War. Dad was in WWII the woods sound so refreshing!
