Elvenborn

So, I'd read this trilogy when I was a kid and remember REALLY enjoying it. This time around, though, I kept peeking at the end page number and wondering if I'd missed a fourth book all those years ago. It ends quite suddenly, tied up in a neat little package (except for the overwhelmingly encompassing arc of the tension between Elvenlords and Wizards which was simply dropped) with THIS book's (and in a way the last book's) main opposition disposed of.
The introduction of and focus on the new character is confusing simply because he seems to be an afterthought. Even those characters familiar with the Lords hear his name and tend to think, “oh, him? He's some crazy recluse. Never really think about the guy.” However, it is enjoyable to have a fresh perspective that isn't solely antagonistic.
But again, the sudden end: disappointing. Overall story: good.
