Nyr Illim Tevitch is an anthropologist, sent from Earth to observe Lyn’s race. Lyn decides to break the rules of the kingdom and journey up the mountain to the Tower where the last Elder has lived for hundreds of years, and ask him to use his magic to help her. First we have Lynesse Fourth Daughter, a disgraced princess who is desperate to rid her kingdom of an insidious demon. The story unfolds in alternating chapters between two main characters. Fans of both genres are going to want to get their hands on this one, trust me. This is a very weird but inventive tale, a perfect mash-up of fantasy and science fiction that left me in awe of the author’s ability to not only create an intriguing mystery, but to write a fairly short story with an epic scope and interesting characters. Elder Race is just as good as everyone’s saying. How do a princess battling a demon and an ancient anthropologist from the stars share the same story? It’s actually not that hard to imagine if you’re reading something by Adrian Tchaikovsky. In the next moment Lyn changed her mind: not a living thing at all, but as though the tower contained vast moving parts only now stirring into motion. Something within the foundation of the tower groaned, deep and tormented. The nitty-gritty: A clever mix of fantasy and science fiction that explores the different ways stories are told and interpreted, Elder Race was a joy to read.
