I adore this series. Some aspects (and the characters) are younger than some of my other key bookshelf dominators, but everything else makes up for it! The main character Sophie is delightful and the secondary characters are perfect. I adore the characters and they will always be a model of the personalities a truly great author can create. The are no words for how perfectly created the characters and world are. The idea of Sophie being unknowingly adopted from the elf world to the human world and then adopted back again is perfectly done and i love that she brings her stuffed animal with her to her new world. it is so real! If the is one fault with this series it is that everyone is described as flawlessly beautiful and able bodied and are young for eternity. However, I can over look that because of the way that everything else is done so well. I love the tiny details and quirks of the characters and the huge plotline. This is a wow from me and I am definitely going to reread this several times.
Characters – 4.5 stars
World – 5 stars
Romance – NA
Plot – 4 stars – 5 if you read the whole series
Potential triggers/things to be aware of: like I said, the cast of characters are described as being a traditional Western beauty – and even through this is explained away slightly it still is a consideration or something to bear in mind when reading this book. There is no extreme violence.
