Rating: 5 stars
Summary: the coolest book ever!!!
Review: As I said in a previous review, Robert Stanek has captured the hearts and minds of readers with his wonderful books. In this second book in the acclaimed Kingdoms and the Elves series he continues the adventures of Princess Adrina Alder, Vilmos Tabborrath, and the elf Seth.

Kingdoms and the elves is one of the few series where the books get better and better as you go onto the next book. Robert dives rigth into the action in this second book revealing more of the magical world he has created. The Keeper Martin's Tales are the story of the struggle between good and evil, right and wrong, and it all begins when trouble begins in the kingdoms of men and elves.

If you have read the first one, you must read the rest, go on join the magic.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: awesome!
Review: I absolutely LOVE this book from the beggining to the end. Fantasy, Mystery, Adventure... All of these combined into this great story. Once you read it, you don't want to put it down!! You never can guess whats going to happen next. I also love Magic Lands (another book from Robert Stanek). It's exciting and fun to read! I'm definetly looking foward for more Robert Stanek's great books!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Better than the first and way more than 5 stars
Review: I read many books from Harry Potter to Artemis Fowl, the only books I have read twice is Robert Stanek's Kingdoms and Elves. The first book creates the world for you, the second book sweeps you away. I found loved the detail, it was just right.

I am totally in love with Emel and I think Adrina is like a best friend I know here so well. I can completely relate to her as she has a lot of qualities that I have. Plus she speaks her mind. Vilmos made the book more fun though because he's always getting himself into a jam. He is always upbeat about it, I wish I knew more people like him.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Prepare for a wonderful journey - our family's review
Review: Kingdoms and the Elves of the Reaches by Robert Stanek, is none other than a classic. Not as much humor as the Harry Potter series, still it has the special qualities Harry Potter fans will enjoy! It's a wonderful, creative story. Stanek has a unique way of explaining the lore of his world of Ruin Mist. Adrina is the female lead; she has a bit of an edge to her that reflects the events that have happened early in her life. I've enjoyed watching Adrina come of age in these books (and book 4 in particular) She is definitely a heroine full of character and life. Meanwhile Vilmos Tabborath, the "village counselors son" is a child prodigy of sorts but not in the way you expect. He has a dark side in that he cant control the power within him. He seeks to find out the truth of his birth and the secret of the magic. Only things don't go as well as he had hoped, and thats where the story takes off.

This tale is highly original, and it's a fairly easy read for those of you who have difficulty reading books and/or novels. It's easy to follow and it makes sense, in the same way that J.K. Rowling's writing does. Excellent book as well as series that I highly recommend! Definitely a keeper. Kelly & Kodie
