Booklist Reviews
This collection of short stories, many released previously, provide background and enrichment for the world of Elfhome. First introduced in Tinker (2003), Elfhome is a world where modern Pittsburgh has somehow collided with the Elven kingdom. These stories showcase familiar characters and introduce new characters while showing how they all do their best to make Pittsburgh safe. The impact of Tinker and Windwolf on these characters, and their interactions with each other, serve to provide small windows into an already dynamic world. Where other authors have relied on fan fiction to fulfill these peripheral story lines, Spencer instead has pulled together her own tidbits, and the result is spectacular. A definite must-read for those already caught in the snare of Elfhome. Copyright 2016 Booklist Reviews.
