((Reviewed October 1, 2002)) Copyright 2002 Booklist Reviewsįor well over a half century, Andre Norton has been one of the most popular science fiction and fantasy authors in the world. Have The Elvenbane (1991) and Elvenblood (1996) on hand for newcomers to the Halfblood chronicles. That is not bad in itself, but it slows the story's pace and makes Elvenborn a less than perfect entry into the saga.

But Kyrtian is properly skeptical of his peers, and as the war escalates, he must continually reevaluate friends as well as foes. The elven lord Kyrtian, having escaped a vicious plot to seize everything he owns, now finds that his archaic military skills are needed for the elven lords' fight against their own children.
