The Coming Storm eBook Valerie Douglas
This could have been a brilliant book, but, keeps repeating itself, especially about the friend bond, true soul etc, was so fed up with it, that I was just flipping pages to get past the continuously repeated items, completely spoiled the book for me, which was a great pity, as the book could have been given 4-5 stars.

The Coming Storm eBook Valerie Douglas Reviews
I didn't expect this book to be as good as it was. I don't write reviews much, but this one had me completely sucked in. From the first meeting of Ailith, to the very end. I can't wait to read the next book. The characters are pretty well developed, and with the novellas, you can read the parts that are talked about in the book. The character Tolan is repetitive, but it is intended for him to repeat himself. There are a few editorial mishaps, but to me it didn't detract from the overall story. I enjoyed this book and I will be getting the other books involved. It's not what I expected and yet it was so much more.
I am a tough grader for fantasy novels and much of the stuff out there is garbage. This novel was surprisingly good, with a good plot, interesting characters and twists that kept me interested. Also, Very good action sequences. The only small negative was the author kept rehashing over and over the bond between the heroine and two elves.....it grew tiresome. I wanted to yell out "I get it!"
The writing is mediocre and the editing is awful. I read the full series (what has been published to date) because I have a slight obsession with finishing any book (or series) I begin. My advice? HIRE A NEW EDITOR!!!! The word composition is repetitive and lacking depth, using the EXACT SAME adjectives and similes over and over again; in the same paragraph, even. Persons who read for the enjoyment of reading are usually fans of the language arts, and, although I can't speak for other "language artists," I can understand using creative license; however, this is just butchery at times. I was grinding my teeth throughout the entire series at the simple mistakes and omissions that could have been corrected by a read-through from an editor-or anyone, for that matter.
That being said, the plot was fairly wrought and portrayed (despite the redundant presentation) and had me thoroughly interested. I would say it is worth the read, if it was free.
The Coming Storm is one of those books that suck you into a different world, one you hate to leave whenever you have to put the book down. Even worse than that after finishing it, I had to run over and get the last book in the trilogy because I have to know how the whole story ends! Valerie Douglas wrote a masterpiece, taking the reader to a fantastic world with Elves, Dwarves and Men, where battles of the mind and the heart are fought next to a war against an uncanny enemy.
If you're a fan of epic fantasy and you are not reading The Coming Storm then you are doing yourself no favour.
This book is EPIC. After reading the first 2 installments (Not Magic enough and Setting Boundaries) I couldn't wait to read this one. I was NOT disappointed. In the style of Lord of the Rings, a fellowship is established between the characters and each ones gifts compliment the others. Together they fight evil, form lasting bonds and fall in love. The book is long, but the characters are complex and take a little while to understand fully. The Evil that exists is scary and malevolent, a real nightmare kind of thing. I did have issues with the editing and spelling, but the author promises me they have been addressed.
Read this book. You will not be disappointed.
The Coming Storm series is one of the best story-lines I've ever read and that's saying a lot for a bookworm like me. I was invested in the wonderful characters she created until they felt like old friends (even the horses - Storm and Sport). Breathtaking discriptions of the land, caverns and especially the elven communities, gripping battle scenes, duplicitous politics, magic, love, you name it - it's here. Couldn't put it down, I read the four books one after the other and hated to see it end.
One complaint only. Better proofreading please. By the third book the typos / errors were driving me kinda nuts and would disrupt the flow of the scene. For example, "He wished he's know if sooner." instead of "He wished he'd known it sooner." or "Nor was North Plainfield wasn't the only stop..." A little irritating, but the story was so engrossing and fascinating I kept reading anyway.
I hope Ms. Douglas will continue with this series as I'd like to get to know Alon, Misha and the twins better, and revisit old "friends". READ THIS SERIES!!!
I enjoy books in the Fantasy genre (like The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings) and this sounded like it might be a good book. All I can say is...WOW, it's an awesome book. The characters are believable and within a sort time you find yourself so engrossed with their lives that you feel their pain & joy. The two central people are Elon, leader of the Elves, and Ailith Princess of Riverford. Elon senses an Evil presence in the land and goes in search of the source. In that search, he comes in contact with Ailith, who is just a few days shy of her coming of age. These two become great friends as they discover the source of the coming Evil. From here the roller coaster ride begins as they race to save their lives and the lives of their peoples. Once you get through the introduction of all the characters, you won't be able to stop reading. The story is that good!!!
This could have been a brilliant book, but, keeps repeating itself, especially about the friend bond, true soul etc, was so fed up with it, that I was just flipping pages to get past the continuously repeated items, completely spoiled the book for me, which was a great pity, as the book could have been given 4-5 stars.
