The Elven Healer's Apprentice by Elisa Rae

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I received an ARC of this novella in exchange for an honest review.

This slow burn romance offers a unique and realistic garnering of respect between the main characters human Adela and Merlon the elf Merlon. Sensory details and interesting side characters add humor and heart to this epic journey to fated love. I especially loved Sina the overbearing hobgoblin and Sage the stubborn unicorn.

The book itself had some errors that I assume will be removed in the final form of the book. There were less than six that I saw in the entire 179 pages and they did not make finishing the book a problem for me.

My favorite part of the plot was the mystery behind the unique ability Adela has considering she is a non-magical human. I also appreciated how unique the take on Elves is and the relationships between Merlon and the other Elven leaders in their territories. The backstories of the characters are seamlessly woven into how the romance develops (so no major info dumps) and adds to the emotional elements of the story. Enough action kept me reading and thinking about the book even when life made me put down my phone.

Overall, I would give this story 4 stars and encourage you to check it out!
