Critics Review
Praise for Wen Spencer’s Elfhome series: “Wonderfully inventive … a fun protagonist.” —Locus on Tinker “Each and every character is fascinating, extraordinarily well-developed, and gets right under your skin… . A terrific, memorable story.” —Julie E. Czerneda on Harbinger “Spencer’s intertwining of current Earth technology and otherworldly elven magic is quite ingenious.” —Booklist “The melange of science fiction and fantasy tropes, starships rubbing shoulders with proud elf warriors, is uncommon but tasty. Established fans will enjoy this installment, and those unfamiliar with the series or Spencer may find it an intriguing introduction to her work.” —Publishers Weekly on Wood Sprites “[A]nother vivid, action-packed addition to the fray that is Tinker’s World… . fast-paced, unpredictable, and character-driven to the point that it’s hard to put down. Newcomers and prior fans of Tinker alike will find the story absolutely riveting.” —Midwest Book Review on Storm Furies
