The story continues and doesn't disappoint, however the editing needs to be redone. Sentences are repeated and words left out. There is some explicit sex (which I skipped over) and of course there is violence involved as the is a war on. It doesn't leave you hanging but there is more to come. I enjoyed it and will read the next in series

The Dark Ferryman The Elven Ways #2 Jenna Rhodes 9780756405212 Books Reviews

This book is a good read, but i didn't think it was as great as the other reviewers.

The characters are pretty well-drawn, but most of them are still saddled with either very simple motivations or such a air of mystery that the reader doesn't know them at all. Some of them are just hard to accept, though (Lariel is worrisomely over-reactive because she's queen? That doesn't make much sense...).

My major problem with this book is the same as with book 1 the concluding drama involves a character doing something they don't know how to do, something they don't think they have the strength to do, something no one knew could be done. In moderation, this is good drama, but Ms. Rhodes goes way too far with it. It's just not believable, even within the scope of a fantasy novel.

Second to that is that one of the 'major' twists was entirely predictable. Anyone who couldn't guess, at least in broad strokes, why the Vaelinar ended up where they are isn't trying very hard.

If you've got nothing else you've been meaning to read, then absolutely pick up this series, it's not a total waste of time. But i can't say it should be at the top of anyone's list, except perhaps for airplane or beach reading.
The Dark Ferryman is even better than The Four Forges (the first book in the series which was a very good read). The Dark Ferryman continues to follow the lives of Rivergrace (an elf with strong but unknown powers), Sevryn (a loyal guard to the queen), Nutmeg (a funny, rowdy, loyal "dweller"), the Queen of the Vaelinars and her brother, Quendius (the evil, plotting villain), among many other interesting characters. This book answers many of the questions that were raised in the previous book. The characters continue to develop and enter into and out of alliances. Rivergrace tries to discover her past only to find an answer that no one expected. Sevryn's loyalty is questioned. The Dark Ferryman makes several appearances and does several things, which adds an interesting spark to the storyline. Conclusion Amazing book, couldn't put it down until I was done. I read it in a day and a half (which was great but I got one heck of a headache from sitting in the same position all day, but it was worth it!)
The Gods were disgusted at the damage that the Mage Wars did so they took the magic away from them and turned their backs on the people of Kerith. The Vaelinar Elfin like beings of magic were thrown into Kerith and over the centuries this long life spanned species entrenched their way into the infrastructure of this world. Lariel the Warrior Queen rules the land, but she has enemies within and without as civil war seems imminent.

Half-breeds Rivergrace and Sevryn, the Queen's Hand find love, but Lariel supervises them until she can make sure that the former is not a traitor or a threat to her rule. The powerful Warlord Quendius leads his ruthless army of two deadly races, one of which is the Raymy, a deadly race of sentient reptiles. Lord Diort has his Boelgers, Galdarkin and his Kerran as allies and they prepare for war against Kerrith. Enemies become allies and friends become seditious foes as the Ways become dangerous with only the DARK FERRYMAN seeming to know the answers, but his cost is exorbitant; just ask Rivergrace and Sevryn.

Jenna Rhodes has written a wonderful epic fantasy in the tradition of Terry Brooks and Kate Elliot. THE DARK FERRYMAN is filled with backstabbing political intrigue and fascinating characters who mostly have personal agendas to gain power. Especially fascinating is a brilliant Machiavellian traitor who makes the Neocons look honest as this genius plays puppeteer operating from the shadows to string those in the inner circle of the queen. There are plenty of surprises and twists starting from the moment the beleaguered Lariel no longer trusts those whom she always thought were loyal and as revelations surface, readers cannot put down this superb tale waiting for the next spin to occur.

I liked this book enough that I am keeping it to read again. The wording sometimes was a bit confusing and I had to reread sentences to make sense of what I just read. Otherwise the story was great! And I really got into the characters.
this was a great book
Nice read.
I had been very pleasantly surprised by the first book of The Elven Ways, The Four Forges (The Elven Ways #1) (The Elven Ways), so I was eagerly anticipating Rhodes's second book. I was not disappoited. As a previous reviewer stated, it does start out rather slowly but once things got rolling, I did not want to put the book down. Once again, this book has everything action, adventure, romance, intrigue, comedy, drama, betrayal, joy, lust, loss, sadness, etc...
This is a series that I highly recommend & am, once again, eagerly awaiting the next installment.
