El Pumo

The author's debut contains three distinct tales of dark fantasy. The vivid descriptions make it easy to picture where the characters are and what is happening. I especially enjoyed the first story, "The Hunter." While establishing the setting, introducing us to Naor, the author also introduces us to Arnoku. He meets up with Lanes, a woman with a troubled past, and Ingard, an elf on a mission. Each is interesting, and I would enjoy further adventures featuring any of them. "The Hunter" has exciting fighting and a surprisingly emotional ending. If you enjoy fantasy, get this book. You'll find yourself transported to a dark, new world.
