The author does something rather unique wich I appreciated very much. The pace is steady and the characters are very well developed. Because this is the first novel in the series, the plot is still being fleshed out so not that much significant happens, but that does not make the novel boring. Now to the novel, it is very well written with skillful prose and a decent plot. They are not necessary to read in my opinion, but they do help a bit. Both are short story collections, neither directly impacts the story, but they provide background information on the characters in the series. From what I have found out and read is that The Last Wish, wich is on Audible and Sword of Destiny, wich is not on Audible preceed this novel. Let me start by saying that Blood of Elves is technically not the start of the series.
