About this listen
“Not for the fainthearted! Kids die horribly, and amid the trolls jockeying for leadership is trial by head bashing.”
For the Elves, it's the very worst time to be in the woods.
Trolls are hunting them down.
Will they live long enough to reach a safe place to live?
Oisin’s plan is to come with his bow to help Aedan and Doona lead a party of children into the forest to gather the maidenhair seedlings his people would take across the sea as they flee the trolls who hunt them as prey. Maybe he can be back in time for supper. And if he only dares to dream, he might also be back in time to speak with Doona alone.
Dyr's plan is an early evening head smash for the foolish Elves who think they can steal away to the sands of the endless eye sting water and build their strange float huts. They will make a glorious feast.
But on the way, Dyr's brutes stumble across Oisin's gathering party and attack, leaving Aedan mortally wounded and scattering Doona and the children to flee in terror into the dark mountain woods, only to be run down and captured by the bloodthirsty trolls.
Can Oisin find the bonfires of the trolls and rescue them before it’s too late?
And what then? Will any of them live long enough to reach safety?
"Elf Killers is about death...and life. Seriously imaginative (especially troll-speak!) and gritty in action and battle, this is worth a read...but be prepared! Oh, be prepared. I dare you to grab a copy!"

Gritty and Imaginative
Having read Elf Killers, I looked forward to listening also. Hearing it has definitely added that something extra! Set in another place, elves and trolls are pitted against each other, and the action is non-stop. Add into the mix killer birds and harsh conditions, and every breath becomes a test in survival. Not for the fainthearted. Kids die horribly, and amid the trolls jockeying for leadership is trial by head bashing. Reading Elf Killers is quite the mission; listening kinda made it easier to deal with.
Amid the carnage, there is beauty. Graceful unicorns, magnificent forests and mighty mountains gift this tale the reason for survival, as does love and friendship. Never surrender to what seems inevitable is the overriding message, in my opinion. Elf Killers is about death … and life. Seriously imaginative (especially troll-speak!) and gritty in action and battle, this is a worthy read and listen … but be prepared!
Great story, great narration, and well-paced, given the degree of action.

The invented language had me enthralled!
I love audio books. I listen often when driving and will frequently pull over to listen especially when the story becomes dramatic.
Elf Killers is a new genre for me. I was hooked! It is beautifully and sympathetically narrated from, start to finish.
For fantasy fans, it's a 'must-listen.'
I had no problem with the invented half language, in fact I loved it all. How smart and original!
Violent in places, yet it slots into the narrative perfectly.
As a story it never lacks pace or suspense. If you are not enthralled. I will be surprised!
