This was an interesting book, though it seemed more like a chapter. I am liking this series though I do have yet to grow to love it. I think that as I go on I will and yet I liked that the places were well described along with a glimpse of the wild life.

So Shadow Elves are probably my second favorite characters in the world of the Dwemhar. (doubtful anything will top necromancers but you never know) :P
This novella builds up more world lore and fate told events unfold, while letting us get to know the main players a bit more. There is a good group of characters with heavy pasts coming together, so I'm intrigued about backstories, and even more so as to how Valrin became who he was in [b:Half-Bloods Rising|29518604|Half-Bloods Rising (Half-Elf Chronicles, #1)|J.T. Williams|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1458058466l/29518604._SY75_.jpg|49811359]. Full of adventure, a few battle scenes, more questions than answers, and well you get the picture. JT Williams is a must read author. I know I'm going to be so book drunk after finish the Stormborn series, thank goodness book 10 is on it's way out.
