Klassicheskoe fentezi ot priznannogo grandmastera «Neb'yuly», obladatel'nicy premiy «H'yugo», «Lokus» i «Prometey» — Kerolayn CHerri. Istoriya feyri, kakoy ona dolzhna byt', — pohozhaya na staryy mif, polnaya nevyrazimoy krasoty i pechali. Ballada v proze o neskol'kih pokoleniyah lyudey, ch'i vladeniya raspolozheny ryadom s zacharovannym lesom, chto prichinyaet mnogie trevogi, no mozhet pomoch' tem, ch'i serdca ostayutsya chistymi. Potryasayushchiy kolorit i atmosferu ocenyat po dostoinstvu nastoyashchie mechtateli. Volshebstvo utekaet iz mira. Takov neumolimyy zakon vremeni i volya CHeloveka, povelevayushchego ognem i zhelezom. Dikoy, pervozdannoy, arhaichnoy magii pochti nigde ne ostalos' mesta. Est' tol'ko Eldvud, nebol'shoy les, mrachnyy, no gordyy, skryvayushchiy ot nezvanyh gostey chudesa v svoem serdce, kuda pochti nevozmozhno dobrat'sya. Est' tol'ko Eldvud i ego bessmennyy strazh v nevzrachnom serom plashche, poslednyaya iz naroda vysshih SHi. Est' tol'ko Eldvud i pronzitel'naya istoriya toski po uteryannomu i sveta, chto ne ugasaet vopreki vsemu. «Posetite sokrovennyy mir; puskay ego razdiraet voyna, no, vlekomye volnoy avtorskogo zamysla, my uvidim v nem mnogo prekrasnogo. Eto konec magii v mire lyudey, konec el'fov, i eto pechal'no, no tak suzhdeno». — The Rambles
