Harbinger

Elfhome, Book 5

By: Wen Spencer

Narrated by: Tanya Eby

The long-awaited new entry in Wen Spencer’s popular Tinker series.

The war against the oni heats to a flashpoint even as Tinker learns that the enemy has a dangerous new weapon, the nactka. What’s more, the Stone Clan has sent its most famous warlords, the Harbingers, to take control of the allied war effort. Are these elves friends or foes? Tinker’s newfound baby siblings are up for grabs. The babies, though, are wood sprites and aren’t going to take things lying down. Team Mischief go!

“Each and every character is fascinating, extraordinarily well-developed, and gets right under your skin.... A terrific, memorable story.” (Julie E. Czerneda, author of In the Company of Others)

“Spencer takes her readers on a fast-paced journey into disbelief. [Her] timing is impeccable and the denouement stunning.” (Romantic Times, four-star review)

“Wonderfully inventive...a fun protagonist.” (Locus)

Great Story, but What Happened Tanya?

The story is amazing as always, but Tanya didn't deliver her normal amazing read. Many, MANY names were pronounced differently and there's less emotion in the character voices in the past. The voices are different, which is to be expected since so much time has passed, but I would have thought a quick listen in any of the previous books could have helped with at least how names are pronounced. Tanya, you're amazing, but this is not your best work.

Need More Tinker

Tanya Eby is not the best reader for this story. At times all the characters sound the same.
While I luv the Tinker series I wish I didn't have to wait 6 years between books.
Overall this is a fun and unique series.

Inventive storytelling

And inventive and gripping story of a world, caught between earth and Elfhome, with humans, elves, tengu and a monstrous enemy fighting for control of Elfhome.

Side Characters

You waited 8 year for a Tinker story will this book has that in chapters (like 5) but who cares about that They have Side Characters.

Like her sisters and bother,

and her cousin oil can he is here to,

and that one tv show producer that marrying that one dude,

and the hooker turn elf princess,

and the girl hunter who’s a spy,

and the cat man mob boss ,

that’s a lot of POV’s.

But all jokes it’s a good batch Characters and chapters but the book needs another 20 hours to get all the things that need to be said done. it’s a good start. But it needs to be like broken up into separate books to get a full story in I will for sure be buying more of her books and never switch readers

Chaos reigns and I love it.

Adventures of Tinker get even better with the introduction of younger siblings. Karma hits hard when looking in that mirror. (Says a bratty younger sibling)
