will soon be lost…forever.

My
Review:
When
I read the summary for The Elf I thought I have got to read this. I just had to
read about all the little elves making all the toys for little children for Christmas.
I thought this is going to be a fun read a retelling of Santa and his little
elves. Boy was I wrong these elves are not small or short they are way taller
than I am and are nothing like I imaged or was led to believe.
Just
imagine my surprise when I started reading The Elf and found out that the elves
world is nothing like I was led to believe oh no. But that is somewhat of
another story that I will let Lucian tell you about. But I will tell you that things
at the North Pole are not what they seem.
There
is a virus going around among the elves that is very deadly. All the elves are led
to believe that their archenemy is responsible for the spread of the virus. When
the love of his life Lily becomes ill with the virus Lucian decides that he is
going to find the person that is responsible and make him pay for what he has
done and hopefully get the cure.
Lucian
and Lily are two wonderful characters who make awesome elves. They both have
hearts of gold that are always thinking of others especially the children and
getting the toys out on time. Lily is a very sweet person that puts her own
needs aside to make everyone else happy. She has such a sweet personality. I
think her and Lucian make a great couple.
I
really loved and enjoyed reading about the elves and everyone at the North
Pole. I love the hmmm retelling of the elves and the little world the author
created for them it was magical. I can’t wait to read more of Lucian and Lilly’s
story as well as all their friends. If you have not read The Elf yet then I
suggest that you do you will not regret it. This is one story I will be
thinking about long into the future.
