The world they depict is fraught with a sense of wonder rare even in fantasy.... [Monette and Bear] have taken one of the most escapist of fantasy subgenres, in which humans and animals meld, and turned it into something powerful and surprisingly deeply human., What Bear and Monette have done for wolves in this book is no more and no less than what Anne McCaffrey has done for dragons--they have made the wolf iconic, memorable, something larger than life.... The storyline is gripping--I read this thing at a sitting--the writing is exquisite, and the book is destined to be a classic of its kind., Coauthors Monette and Bear combine their literary talents... [A] well-written and emotionally powerful quasi-Nordic fantasy., The meticulously crafted setting and powerful, often moving rendition of characters and relationships-human and nonhuman alike-result in a brutal and beautiful novel about the meaning of honor. ...the authors have boldly created a fascinating world that begs further exploration., "Every bit as absorbing as the first volume, The Tempering of Men is compelling and intensely readable. Told from multiple perspectives, the characters are well-drawn and distinct, especially Brokkolfr and Amma, his amusingly maternal wolf-sister. Monette and Bear each excel at creating unique worlds when writing solo fiction, so it's no surprise that this joint effort combines their strengths into something extraordinary." -- RT Book Reviews, Top Pick "The meticulously crafted setting and powerful, often moving rendition of characters and relationships-human and nonhuman alike-result in a brutal and beautiful novel about the meaning of honor. ...the authors have boldly created a fascinating world that begs further exploration." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review on A Companion to Wolves "Coauthors Monette and Bear combine their literary talents...

Synopsis
With An Apprentice to Elves , Sarah Monette and Elizabeth Bear return to the world of Iskryne with a standalone third entry in their epic fantasy series . The trilogy began with A Companion to Wolves , and continued in The Tempering of Men . An Apprentice to Elves picks up the story of Alfgyfa, a young woman who has been raised in the Wolfhall by her father Isolfr, who is the human leader of the queen-wolf Viridechtis' pack, and was the protagonist of the first book. The warrior culture of Iskryne forbids many things to women--and most especially it forbids them bonding to one of the giant telepathic trellwolves. But as her father was no ordinary boy, Alfgyfa is no ordinary girl. Her father has long planned to send his daughter to Tin, a matriarch among the elves who live nearby, to be both apprentice and ambassador, and now she is of age to go..., With An Apprentice to Elves , Sarah Monette and Elizabeth Bear return with the third book in their epic fantasy series, the Iskryne trilogy .
