Joachim Nuyttens rated Blood of Elves: 4 stars
Not a very great plot, but the world Stephenson describes is so fantastic that makes it worth a read. Definitely only for fans of the genre.

A lovely book
5 stars
I loved "The remains of the day" and "Never let me go" of the same author. I think as with his other books "Klara and the Sun" is easy to read, and makes you think about one or a few of life's bigger questions. The critics about Ishiguro taking his time to build a world, a story are valid. If you want to have a quick, to the point read then this book is not for you. If you like a story, not a fairy tale, well written and with a deeper meaning then you should definitely give this book a chance.

Highly recommended for fans of the dystopian genre
5 stars
This book is a one-of-a-kind, I struggled in the first half to "like it". But it got better, and I think it is so unique you must read it (if you are in the SciFi / Dystopian genre).
