They say that you judge the book by its cover. This is not the case with the book I’m featuring today.
The Battle of the Erathiel: Across the Enchanted Sea by Constanza Mayer is a lovely fantasy book which is not presented well by his cover. It’s way better than it seems to be.
The author has created a wonderful world which she describes with beautifully written vivid descriptions.
There are no scenes of bloodshed in this book, there is some violence but it doesn’t go into gory details, making it a read for all ages.
I loved the relationship Thinidiel and Nimtar shared, a Frigga – Odin kind of love, as I enjoyed the flirting game between Lothar and Eteri.
The story takes a twist when one of the characters has a unique, magical experience.
I was a bit surprised by the abrupt ending, I expected a smoother one, but I guess that when Volume Two comes out, readers will be able to read sequentially these two books and the way this book ends won’t matter anymore.
Overall, I enjoyed this ride to a magical elvish world and I can’t wait to read Volume II.
The Battle of the Erathiel: Across the Enchanted Sea
The ancient elven race of the Erathiel embark on a journey across the Enchanted Sea to find a new home. With them travel the only remaining dwarves and humans from their land. They are struck by a terrible storm that leads them to a land they are not keen to call their own. Soon they will find that there is more to this new land than they had ever expected. Friends and foes, hope and loss will be their constant companions in this adventure where wizards and shape-shifting adversaries will cross their path.

About the author
Constanza Mayer is a Chilean author. Born in Santiago, she spent most of her childhood living in different cities across Chile, until she finally settled down for many years in a small town in the state of Illinois. There, she began her true journey into the realm of fantasy and all things magical—Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings and Star Wars, fed her imaginative mind. This is when she began to write her first fantasy novel, but it was sadly lost due to a computer virus.
After many years passed, having moved back to Santiago, Chile, she was finally able to write again. This is where “The Battle of the Erathiel” truly began to develop. After almost two years of hard work, and living for a time in the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina, she finishes the first novel of her series in Santiago on October 29th, 2016.
Constanza is an avid reader, a lover of the arts, and a devoted piano player and composer. Among her dreams, she hopes to continue traveling across the world to fill herself with more experiences to write from, as she typically says:
“Hay que vivir para poder escribir.”
“You must live so that you may write.”
