Breeze leads a very sheltered life because of being half human and half Tal'mar at a time when the humans and Tal'mar races have been at war. She must keep her elven ears covered so that others won't. A thoroughly enjoyable, fast-paced read. Vickie Jo Lasley This was an enjoyable, fast-paced story about a young girl who is part elf and part human in a world where neither side would acknowledge her existence. One of the differences between elves and humans is that elven children grow very quickly -- so quickly that within the rest of the book, she grows to adulthood within the year. Her biological father, a human soldier, is sent off to war, and he leaves his 4-year-old daughter with the local Tinker. The Tinker is a very kind man who brings her into his home and tries. Fi said Hmmmmm. I didn't not like it but I didn't like like it either (double like intended). The character did not mature throughout the book even though she aged physically, the solutions to problems and issues were too easy, too perfect and worked too quickly (the adage of create your character, put them in a tree and throw rocks at them) did not really apply. Light and fluffy, not a challenging read.
The Tinkerman's inventions are frightening at first - noisy, smelly, dangerous machines with no practical use - but when the war comes home, Breeze sees an opportunity. Breeze is an outcast, a half-breed orphan born into a world torn apart by a thousand years of war. Breeze never knew her elven mother, and when her human father is recalled to the war, he leaves her in the safest place he knows: in the care of a reclusive tinker. If she can pull it off, she'll change the world forever. If she fails, she'll be considered a traitor by both lands and will be hunted to her death.
