Elf Mastery

Piers Anthony Review of Elf Doubt

6/30/2018

0 Comments

 
Piers Anthony once again agreed to read my book! Here is what he had to say:

I read Elf Doubt by Bryant Reil. I read the author's first novel in this series, Elf Mastery, in 2016. My aging memory is not what it once was, and the details of the first book have faded, but I remember liking Kyla, the perky and sometimes headstrong tree-dwelling elf girl. In this sequel Kyla quickly gets on a new mission and into serious trouble. It is a restless time, politically, with threats against the existing order, and she discovers that it's hard to trust anyone else, including the queen herself. Details are complicated, with many intertwining threads, and violence and death strike all around her. She seems to have been selected for some special purpose, but she doesn't know what it might be, and her friends may not really be her friends. By the end the king and queen have been dispatched, and Kyla is chief of one group and queen of another, without much notion what she should be doing or whether she is likely to survive long enough to find out. In fact the story becomes grim, and it is not yet done, as this book ends in the middle of the action. So this is no sweet gentle innocent girl story. I suspect that much anguish remains before it ends.

The paperback has been submitted and is awaiting review, so should be available within a few days. In the meantime, I will post the picture of the full cover.

That's Kyla falling with the flying city of Aeolis in the background on the back cover.

Everything is still looking good for a June 15 release. I thought I might as well post the new front cover here (the ebook cover).

I've committed to a release date of June 15, which means I have until June 11 to get the final manuscript and artwork uploaded to Amazon. I have a few changes to make to the text and we are still working on the cover, but expect to be done by then.

Can't remember if I mentioned it earlier, but I did contact the original artist from Book 1 to redo the picture for Book 2. I think the original art for Book 2 looked fine but was getting a lot of comments that Kyla didn't look like Kyla from the first cover.

June release

Clearly I didn't make my hope for a May release but am very close so should be June. I have formatted the book for print, but not yet for ebook format. Just getting a (hopefully) final proof to check through, and still waiting on the cover, as I have asked the original artist to contribute.

Just keeping you posted!
