I didn't particularly like this collection of stories. The first one was very interesting, I liked that it involved elves and took place in a court of law but I didn't really like the fact that the names were so difficult to grasp. It would have been easier for me as a reader if the names had been simpler. Granted, the names add a touch of authenticity to the story but I believe if it's a choice between the reader's attention and authenticity, the reader's attention will always take precedence.
I also liked the first two stories for the simple fact they featured non-human characters. This was a refreshing and a good break from the constant portrayal of human characters in today's literature.
Overall, I think this was a good book but I just didn't enjoy most of the stories.
