| This is one of my favorite book series. It was co-written by Wayne Thomas Batson and Christopher Hopper. Has anyone else read them? If so, please come talk about them.  If not, go read them now!  Ok, kidding, you don't have to. I will say, while I enjoyed the first book, Curse of the Spider King, I really didn't start LOVING the series until I read book two, Venom and Song. The third book, The Tide of Unmaking, was completely epic and filled with surprises. I started it one evening and couldn't put it down until I finished it at... 3:40am. This is the description of the first book from Amazon. The Seven succeeding Elven Lords of Allyra were dead, lost in the Siege of Berinfell as babes. At least that’s what everyone thought until tremors from a distant world known as Earth, revealed strange signs that Elven blood lived among its peoples. With a glimmer of hope in their hearts, sentinels are sent to see if the signs are true. But theirs is not a lone errand. The ruling warlord of Allyra, the Spider King, has sent his own scouts to hunt down the Seven and finish the job they failed to complete many ages ago.
Now 13-year-olds on the brink of the Age of Reckoning when their Elven gifts will be manifest, discover the unthinkable truth that their adoptive families are not their only kin. With mysterious Sentinels revealing breathtaking secrets of the past, and dark strangers haunting their every move, will the young Elf Lords find the way back to the home of their birth? Worlds and races collide as the forces of good and evil battle. Will anyone escape the Curse of the Spider King?My favorite characters were Jett, Autumn, and Johnny. I think my favorite book was the second one, but it's hard to say because the third one was so mindblowingly epic. Migmar the Gnome totally reminded me of Yoda. MAJOR SPOILERS for The Tide of Unmaking(book three): - Spoiler:
Jett coming back to life made me freak out a lot. I loved that they brought him back, but it tore me up to see him when he didn't recognize his friends, and then when he became evil.  I was every bit as happy as Autumn when he finally realized who he was and killed Asp. I was really disappointed that we didn't get to see any of Jett and Autumn's interactions after he became good again, though. *sigh*

| You really should! I originally the series because my sister and a few of her friends were crazy about it. I didn't think it could possibly be that great/I would like it much, but I was proven wrong. XD | |
