Novel downloaded from Voracious Readers. Thei book has some interesting features: magic, elves, and even dragons. But there is just too much. At least 3 lots of star crossed lovers. No one questions lies. Everything is quite overwhelming….everyone is estranged or misunderstood from lovers, parents, siblings. Conflict and danger is fine, but come on…everyone is at cross purposes.Everyone is drowning in danger, misunderstanding and just unrelieved misery. I like a little hope, a little joy…even just a little, but all the “love” is compromised.
