About this listen

An ancient war reignites as the international bestselling fantasy saga continues...

At the height of its power, the elven court of Queen Emerelle relishes in the joyful, wintry Festival of Light. Yet, as tribes gather to reaffirm their loyalty to the queen, treachery festers within the nobility. An assassination attempt leaves Emerelle severely injured and plunges the realm back into the throes of an ancient war.

While an army of trolls ravages the kingdom, the elves seek aid from Alfadas, the human hero who was raised among them. Back in the land of men, Alfadas has settled into a quiet life as his village's protector. But when his former mentor appears asking for his help, Alfadas is quick to oblige.

Alfadas sets out to defeat the elves' foes. However, marching to war means abandoning his village - and his wife. And Albenmark isn't the only world facing monstrous threats...

Epic saga in true Norse fashion, love it! Not really a part two, more of a story branching off book one

A great bard

Have read other reviews on this book and it is obvious that it is leading you into the next instalment. I am now listening to third book and it flows seamlessly on from this book. Hope this helps

Leading you into next book

Michael Page narrates this tale Brilliantly - age what a tale it is. I enjoyed this roller coaster ride immensely

Another terrific fantasy story in the series

This is well read, but it feels as though it has been edited to remove gaps between sentences. It's as though the book is read in one breath.
I wasn't pulled in to this book, the story feels pointless, there are a load of weak scenes which don't convey a great deal.

Not a good sequel

Just like the first book, Elven winter is fairly disjointed and jumps about a lot, but worst of for this audible version over half of the novel is missing! If only I had read the reviews before I started listening to the book. The story just ends right in the middle and you are just left hanging. Do not start this book unless there is a complete version released or you will be left disappointed l.

Don’t buy it! Half of the book is missing

If you’re thinking of buying this: Don’t waste your money until they re-release a finished version.

This book was a HUGE let down due to one single thing: It felt like reading half a book...

...Because that’s exactly what you get.

German Original: 928 Pages
English Translation: 320 Pages

German Audiobook: 28hrs 14mins
English Audiobook: 12hrs 32mins

This is clearly an incomplete translation (or so heavily abridged that it may as well be incomplete). OVER HALF of the content is missing, it has been stripped from this edition leaving it feeling disjointed and unfinished.

I have no idea why anyone would release the book in such a state because it does not do justice to Bernhard Hennan’s fantastic writing or to Edwin Miles masterful translation. It’s actually disgusting! ☹️

What’s worse is there’s no mention of this on the sales page. It’s being passed off as if it were the full book and sold to unwitting readers who have been duped into paying full price as if it were the complete story found in the original German novel. There is no mention anywhere of it being an abridged translation, but one look at the reviews will show you many frustrated readers as the ending is not even included in this copy! The book just ends mid plot - So infuriating!

I genuinely feel like I’ve been scammed.

Which is unfortunate because I absolutely LOVE the series. The quality of the writing and Bernhard Hennen’s world building are spectacular. This is easily in my Top 10 already and I WANT to buy the rest of them, but not if they are going to be chopped & torn to pieces like this edition.

The only reason I have not refunded is because I want to support the author & the publisher in the hopes they translate the rest of the series. (And do it properly)

As a final note to the editor or whoever made the awful decision to cut so much content from this book: Nobody wants an abridged copy! NOBODY!

Abridged copies are always garbage. Give us a complete translation with all the juicy world building and fantastic details Bernhard Hennen has created or don’t bother.

The first book was translated properly in full and was an absolute joy to read. Do this series the justice it deserves and finish the rest with equal effort. And please, re-release this with the rest of the missing content.

Sincerely, a very unhappy customer.

Amazing Writing, Awful Editing & Absolutely Disappointing

I will be waiting for a full translation, this was horrendous and I was so looking to it.
Very disappointing

Disappointed

This is not a complete book, it's very piece meal throughout and just randomly ends like it's half way through. So disappointed, I loved the first book. Wouldn't recommend.

Wow how disappointing...
