The world-building was amazing, the characters were believable wish there had been more character development since this is the second book , and there was plenty of action and adventure!
Like I said, very Lord of the Rings. I cannot wait to see what this duo comes up with next! The ending definitely left room for more. Originally posted at Do You Dog-ear? Nov 05, Nicole Hewitt rated it really liked it Shelves: Feed Your Fiction Addiction I thought this second book was even better than the first.
This installment had all the adventurous and magical elements of the first book, but those aspects of the book were intensified. I also found myself laughing more, and the worldbuilding was stronger. I thought the first book did a pretty good job of these things, but this second book definitely outshone it. But the thing that I loved most about this o 4. But the thing that I loved most about this one was the social commentary.

The elves have been herded into Freestone and are pretty much under guard. The humans look at them with suspicionpartially just because they're different and partially because they believe the elves brought their city's destruction down on themselves. In today's political and social climate, it's not hard to see some parallels there. Plus, we learn that the elves themselves have a society that has been at war with itself and certain factions are looked down on and treated as second-class citizens.
I will say that both the authors are whiteand I am tooso it would be interesting to read the opinions of some POC readers, but I thought that they handled the plight of the elves very well and that the messages are positive. Oh, and once again, the ending has a twist that will send our heroes down a completely new path for book three! This series is a perfect blend of adventure and heart! I received this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
No other compensation was given and all opinions are my own. Zed, Brock, and the others have saved Freestone once, now the elves want them to save Llethanyl, too.

Zed and Brock are both keeping dark secrets from each other. These secrets may not only destroy their friendship, but also the world. Kids who have read the first book will enjoy this one just as much. The action alone will keep young readers coming back for more. The author pair has a good chance to become as beloved as Brandon Mull. In the future, however, I think they need to spare a little time for more character development — while there is a bit, it is pretty shallow. They also need to stop setting up the next book at the end of the last one.
They will come back for more because you gave them a strong, complete story to love.

Spoiler Alert - At the end of the first book in the series the elves arrived to report that their city had fallen. The town of Freestone allowed the refugees inside its walls, but the situation is uneasy and that is putting it mildly.
The Rangers of the elves have taken shelter with the Adventurers Guild and their youngest member, Fel, has joined the five friends in their training. When a party is sent to scout a pos Zed, Brock, Liza, Micah, and Jett are back to survive dangers and deceptions. When a party is sent to scout a possible return to the elven city of Llethanyl, the youngsters find themselves outside the safety of Freestone and in the wilderness where Dangers could be behind every bush or stone.
Besides the creatures who try to kill them ranging from shapeshifting things with really large teeth to deadly spores and even banshees , there are also plenty of intrigue and cross-purposes to ruin everyone's day. The shadowy figure who wants Brock to discover secrets, Zed's desire to learn more about his elven father, the prejudices within the elven party against some of their own people, the elven queen's true agenda And within this fantasy setting, there are still everyday themes of friendship, family, belonging, identity, prejudice, and the stirrings of teenage romance as the adventurers make their way toward Llethanyl.

Readers who enjoyed the first outing and have been waiting for the next installment in the series will be glad to reunite with the characters they know and to learn more about the newcomers. Those who are just discovering the Adventurers Guild can jump in and give this a try, and then they will probably want to go back and read about how this crew got their start once they reach the end of the book.
Highly recommended for middle grade readers who enjoy fantasy adventure. I read an e-book provided by the publisher through NetGalley. Aug 10, Bethany rated it it was amazing. With Freestone overpopulated with the elves, tensions are high, especially since humans and elves have different ways of doing things. For example, burning the dead compared to burying the dead. The Dangers are still a large problem and Zed, Brock, and their friends must join together for another adventure.
Throughout the story, Brock and Zed have their problems, but the power of friendship is strong. When they're sent by the Queen of the Elves to help save Llethanyl, their strength is put to the test. I don't want to give anything away, but the ending is surprising and amazing. What happens to Zed Those who enjoyed the first in the series will love this one. It gives us more insight into what's going on. I would recommend this to fans of action, adventure, magic, and elves.
Oct 30, Nicole rated it it was amazing. Twilight of the Elves is an action packed, page turner that will keep you on the edge of your seats. This is a wonderful fantasy adventure for young children if read aloud, and perfect for slightly older children looking to delve into the fantasy genre. The story itself wonderful, with perfect pacing. I highly recommend Twilight of the Elves. Considering the ending, I can't wait for book three. Dec 14, Grant rated it liked it. The worldbuilding is pretty good. The characters are nuanced and interesting. The plot has a few areas that strain suspension of disbelief, but not more than is typical in middle grade fiction.
