Stanek's Kingdoms and the Elves of the Reaches books are incredibly good. I wasn't sure what to expect in this story collection but I really enjoyed it and the stories are all entertaining. Definitely recommended.

Our Most Recommended Book to others

Overall
5 out of 5 stars

Having read some reviews, and encouraged by the fact that this book is a best seller, I eagerly purchased the unabridged audio version of "The Kingdoms and the Elves of the Reaches". I am a great fan of many genres of writing, and the audio product allows me to 'read' when normal reading is impossible.

I love a good story, a deep mystery, the hero, the heroine, the antihero. I love jolting twists, heart pounding tension, and a satisfying ending as much as anyone. I love the entire journey. So it was with much delight that I discovered "The Kingdoms and the Elves of the Reaches" delivered all of this and more.

My wife, my sons, and my daughter rarely agree on anything, but we ALL agree on "The Kingdoms and the Elves of the Reaches". This story is extremely well developed and extremely well written. It might be our favorite book of all time, and it surely is our most recommended book to others. Part of the reason is that the author took a traditional theme of a fantasy story and put twists on it which are totally new.

The book is clever and engaging. Whether or not you are a devout fantasy reader should make no difference in being able to enjoy this story. If anything, it opens a window to your imagination. I found myself with a new appreciation for traditional fantasy. It was an excellent audio rendition and a fast-paced and interesting story.

In all, if you are looking for an entertaining book, listen to this one and keep going to the rest of the series. The books in the series get better and better. Book 2 is better than book 1. Book 3 is better than book 2. Book 4 is better than book 3. To understand it all, you have to begin with book 1.
