When preparing to review this book, I took the time to actually read the "suggested questions". They are: 1. What do you like or dislike about this book? 2. To whom would you recommend this book? 3. Why do you choose this rating?
1. Everything. Although Lindsay's characters in her series have similarities throughout all of her books, each new set of characters is fun to get to know. Her worlds are all so well developed, be they elf lands, steam punk worlds, modern day treasure hunters, or even outer space worlds, that they come to life in your head. Reading one of her books is like getting an unexpected gift whose shape you recognize, but still has surprises.
Her characters are fun, funny, and quirky. So much so that they become " friends" whose adventures draw you in and make you feel like you're a part of their world.
2. I'd recommend this book to anyone who enjoys fun adventures that aren't always "Disneyfied". Although Disney movies have a dark part, most of the movies are bright and cheerful. Lindsay's stories, while fun to read, do have people die and get seriously hurt, yet they're are not really dark. If you're looking for a deep " War and Peace" book, this is not the author for you. But her stories have fun twists and turns, and have always kept me looking to the next one. It's also a fun way to improve your vocabulary due to the interesting habit she has of using uncommon words.
3. Lindsay deserves 5 stars from me because she has yet to disappoint in her writing. First, there are none of the constant grammatical errors found in so many "indie" books in Amazon. I've read quite a few series that I've enjoyed, and Lindsay's stories are the only one that I've yet to find errors in. Yes, there have been a few times where I've had to go back, but usually it's because I've missed, misread or misunderstood/misinterpreted what I read, and I've thought "Hmmm, this could be avoided if it were written this way.", but I'm so vested in the story that I've moved on before fully forming the thought...or just moved on right after the thought has flashed by.
So, if you like a good fantasy, with a sprinkle of romance, some battles, "little army against HUGE armies", and at least one strong female, then, why are you still here, reading about these books? Go. GO!! Go start one of her series....you won't be disappointed. PS...A number of her series offer the first book for free or for just $0.99. How can you go wrong?
I recommend starting with " The Emperor's Edge" series, and its spinoffs.
Enjoy, and I hope this review is helpful...you might want to say yes because if not, I might send my newest friend and ally, Hawk, after you. 😂

Fantasy with a little extra...
What I liked about The Elf Tangent was that Princess Aldari was very smart, especially in mathematics. It is wonderful to see that in female heroines! The setting was nicely developed and I could sense all the tensions between the races involved in the conflicts. The side characters were all memorable and some were even very funny. Despite all these pluses, I found the overall story to be a little flat. The hook just wasn't there for me with these characters.
