Catch Hold Of Summa Elvetica Originated By Vox Day Readily Available As Leaflet

bad. The main story started off very well, but once they got to the elven kingdom it felt very, very rushed.
I would have liked to see this fleshed out more, The two short stories were both very good, From my Amazon review: Excellent read and written with intellect, I am glad someone is writing stories without the preaching and political correctness infused throughout the plot, We need more like this! Do Elves Have Souls

In Theodore Beales Summa Elvetica, young nobleman Marcus Valerius is sent with a delegation to Elebrion to help settle the debate among church scholars as to whether or not elves have souls.
The task is no simple matter since a holy was hinges on the outcome of his assessment,

On the long journey to the Elf kingdom, Marcus befriends those in the delegation including several warriorpriests, an elf, and his new dwarf bodyguard.
He learns much from these men through historical war accounts, When the party arrives in Elebrion, the Elf king treats them to dinner where Marcus discovers a shocking betrayal.


I enjoyed reading Summa Elvetica, The storyworld was fascinating as were the characters, Marcus is honest, smart, and naïve toward the ways of the world, which made him very likeable despite his wealth and lofty status.
His adventure entertained me until the last page, I wished there were more to the story, Recommended.
I really liked this book, The characters were wellbuilt and the plot was captivating and evenly paced, The additional short stories following the main novel were also surprisingly well done and added back story to the novel.


Fantastic. Summa Elvetica was an enjoyable read, I, too, thought it was too short and lacked, well, . . elves. Still, it was well written and a few parts made me laugh, I'd like to see more books from Ted Beale, as his writing and imagination obviously need more room to grow.
One of the better altEuropean fantasy I've read, A sprinkling of typos, but not too many, A solid collection of short stories set in the Selenoth Universe, This particular edition combined several of the other stories into one volume, All of the stories are well written and enjoyable, Most of the stories touch on the interaction of the Ammoran religion interacting with the various races in Selenoth, particularly the elves.
Day's elves are more interesting than typical and he does a good job of highlighting how alien the elves are to men.
He spends a good deal of time discussing religious philosophy, which might be a bit dull for some reader but I enjoyed.
My favorite story was Master of Cats, I enjoyed the attempt by the Monk to convert the elves,

Overall I enjoyed all of the stories and it provides a lot of much needed background to the rich world Day has created! Interesting premise, not so good execution.


It still merits reading though, especially if you're inclined to reach for "A Throne of Bones" which I very much advise you to do as it serves along "A Magic Broken" as an important introduction.
I concur with most of the drawbacks other reviewers pointed their fingers at and would single out the seemingly rushed ending as the main flaw.
I also found the portrayal of some of the social dynamics slavery as not thoroughly convincing, Also don't bother pestering yourself with Google Translate as I silly me did each time a chapter starts with Latin as all of them come in plain English in the Summa Elvetica Proper chapter at the end.


What also comes at the end are two short prequel stories that are actually much better than the rest and they're probably the main reason my score tumbled over two into three territory.
Action! Adventures! Elves! A Roman empire lookalike! Sorcery and arson! All driven by the burning question: do elves have souls

Marcus Valerian is sent as part of a mission to the kingdom of the elves.
Nominally, this is to conclude the peace of a war that has not been fought in decades, In actuality, it is to determine whether elves have souls, A judgment of immense political significance as well as theological, Hence the adventures. Too dry for my tastes, just couldn't get interested in it, I enjoyed this book more than any of the Marcus chapters in A Throne of Bones, This book goes a long way towards enhancing his character, as well as the world of the elves, and even a little of the dwarves'.
read what this guy has to say about feminism and diversity amp equality in the US:

"My position is not conservative because there is nothing left to conserve.


I describe feminism and equalitarianism as being unsustainable because they are ideologies that cannot be sustained for more than a short period of time once they become tangible policy measures.
Once equalitarianism attains a certain amount of influence in a civilized society, that society is doomed, although the collapse is not necessarily instantaneous and the particular form it takes will vary.
The speed with which the society collapses entirely depends upon the circumstances, It only tookyears for Germany to go from democratic suffrage to totalitarian rule, whereas it tookyears for a different equalitarian ideology, communism, to run its course in the Soviet Union.

"There is, quite simply, no such thing as human equality in any material sense.
In fact, the latest genetic research on potential Neanderthal genes found in humans of nonAfrican descent suggest that it is not entirely accurate to even assert that homo sapiens is not divided into various subspecies.


As for the myth of the American melting pot, it should suffice to point out that the idea was popularized by a Russian Jew who emigrated to England, never lived in the United States and was a fervent believer in the cause of establishing a Jewish homeland.
Basing immigration policy on the idea of the melting pot is about as rational as setting foreign policy on the basis of the example set by the United Federation of Planets in Star Trek.
It is not only fiction, but ignorant foreign

fiction at that, The reality is that from the midth century to the midth century, the New England states had almost no immigration foryears.
And, it is important to note that when the Irish did finally come to America, they were fewer, more culturally similar, and they came in a more gradual manner from farther away.
. .

Since no one of national stature is willing to openly defend traditional American society, that leaves only the second path of conflict avoidance.
White Americans will continue to vote with their feet, retreating slowly but continuously before the inexorable wave of migrationary expansion.
Encouraged by the frailty of American society and the fragility of mythbased American political culture, what are still currently the fringe views of the Aztlan revolutionaries will rapidly become the mainstream opinion of Mexican irredentists in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Nevada.


Californians are already fleeing Southern California en masse, There is no way the elderly snowbirds of Arizona and the exCalifornians of Nevada are going to provide serious opposition to the ongoing migrational transformation.
Only Texas, with its unique and expansive view of itself, combined with its history of violent conflict with Mexico, is likely to take action over time.


Meltingpot America was always a myth, There is no magic assimilation to replace the ruthless mathematics of demographic transformation, Precisely how the Lincolnforged Union will fragment cannot be foreseen with perfect clarity at this point, but as recent events suggest, it should begin in the bellwether states of California and Arizona.
Nor should Americans necessarily see this as a bad thing, After all, having waged numerous wars in favor of the human right to democracy and selfgovernment everywhere from AustriaHungary to Kosovo and Iraq, how can they reasonably deny the right of the Aztlan people of California to rule themselves in whatever way they happen to see fit

There is a basic rule of democracy that many Americans appear to have forgotten over the years: If you dont want to live in Peoria, dont import Peorian voters.
