Honestly, I’m pretty pissed off at this book to be honest… The entire book centers around the idea that the elves are coming to make war on humans.
Humans have been incredibly hateful, horrible, and every sense abusive to elves and dwarves. They won’t let dwarves even have their own towns or cities, but break them up into ghettos. They treat half elves basically as less than chattel slavery, running them out of every town, letting them starve to death, even women and children..
They are not even referred to as beings with the ability to think.
They even very specifically use language that the Nazis used about the Jews, calling them a pestilence, rats, unholy, abominations, that need to be extinguished, blah blah blah. Exactly why should I be on the human side for this war?
Screw the horn of Novron. I want them destroy humanity.
And….I don’t care how tough or how long a human trains. No human could ever defeat an elf. They’ve trained for thousands of lifetimes of a human. AND they’re faster. There’s literally no competition. The idea is laughable. Sorry Hadrian. Imagine a SEAL Team or elite special forces with 1500 years of practice. Now put them opposite a toddler. What do you think? I don’t care if the elf doesn’t happen to be from the right tribe.
Oh, and Royce loses the battle but at the end names Hadrian to fight for him?!? What kind of bullsh….is that?? So this elf has to fight THREE times? I mean…come OOOOOONNNNNN. That’s just cheating.
And…a mother dumps her child and makes her an orphan because it’ll be such a nice surprise to the father later??? Yeah that makes sense. It couldn’t POSSIBLY have helped Royce BEFOREHAND.
