Elf Saga: Doomsday: Part Three: Nightmare of the Faerie

Elf Saga: Doomsday #3

by Joseph Robert Lewis

Part 4: Trials of the Kitsune - Tomoe was dead, and now she’s not. And she’s barely risen from the grave when a group of strange warriors ask her to help rescue someone from the vicious mermaids that plague her island country. As she casts her own spirit into the bodies of samurai and sages, she transforms her companions into legendary sword saints and gains new powers of her own, courtesy of a mysterious white fox.

Part 5: Knight of the Jaguar - As the newly anointed jaguar knight, Lozen must save the spirit Raven from the graves of the first elves, and help the spirit Coyote seal the doorway to the underworld. Then she must sail through a volcanic hellscape, and see the suffering of legions of slaves, and battle an army, and even slay the greatest dragon in the world. But the worst part... is watching one of her friends die.

Discover the world of Vaenos, where dragons are weapons of mass destruction, faeries are pests, mermaids are monsters, and everyone has long pointy ears. With elf heroes inspired by historical female warriors, this exciting twist on epic fantasy mashes up classics like Lord of the Rings with the modern style and humor of Supernatural, Buffy, Hellboy, and Archer.

This one is from Niya's point of view and even though she was a little snappy and rough, i am glad we got a better view of her. I mentioned before how i thought she was a little underdeveloped because all she seemed to have in the first 2 books were rude remarks. She was better here and the girls got to finally achieve what they set out to do but only half of the problem is solved as a new and devastating one arose at the end.

Part Three switches POV to Niya.

Niya is a butt kicking merc with an attitude problem. She's more likely to stab first and ask questions later. She is ornery, so much so that there were a few moments that felt like they leaned on her propensity for anger too much.*

If you haven't realized yet, there's lots of action. This time it's all very faerie centric.

Niya manages to murder with flowers, which is both impressive and scary.

The juxtaposition of Niya's badass murderhobo tendencies with that of the pacifist faeries is intriguing. These series of episodes really challenged the character and her sensibilities.

By the end, I still had trouble liking Niya. But maybe that's the point.

*There was one particular instance involving a dying family member that seemed juvenile. So much so that afterwards it made it hard for me to buy into the moments that were supposed to be tender.
