Summary: good, but a bit of a let-down
Comment: 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 read
Comment: I was delighted with Elvenblood! After reading Elvenbane, I was skeptical that they'd be able to maintain the excitement and quick shifts in the plot that kept you guessing what would happen next. The authors did a superb job and I found it difficult to put the book down and read it well into the night! I'm hoping for another in the series -- they are both a must read.

Summary: Poorly Written/Edited & but decent story
Comment: I liked both this book and its predecessor but I thought both were poorly written and edited, the second more so than the first. The beginning of the first book started well, with rich descriptions of the world and the things in them, but by the end of the book I felt like I was being told a story by a child who was making things up as he/she went along. This book had a very similar feeling, except without the rich description in the beginning. Both books seemed rushed toward the end of the story.
It almost seemed that the book was quickly penned during a "rap session" between the two authors but was never "smoothed out." There's even one part in the book when two character's names are substituted for one another. It made me begin to wonder if anyone REALLY read (not just scanned) the book before it was published.
Keep in mind I did really enjoy this book as well as the first, and it was definitely a nice change of pace to see a lot of things happen in one book (unlike the sometimes molasses like pace of the most recent books by Robert Jordan). I just wish the book(s) had a bit more polish and depth to them. It's a very interesting world with a lot of potential, but it just doesn't seem as well developed as some of the others from different series.
