These are truly an enjoyable and engaging series of books that encompass several worlds, numerous characters, and in the case of the first book, centuries of time.
The stories interweave Humans, Elves, Centaurs, Dwarves and many other magical or mythical creatures, some of which I was unfamiliar with, in plots that take some very interesting twists and turns but always keep you wanting to read more.
The main characters in the first book are different to those in the second two, but the events of the second two books are mentioned in the first book, so they all tie in.
The pace of the stories is fairly leisurely, though the last book does increase the tempo, but all three are totally absorbing as you are introduced to the various worlds and places in both the Elf and Human worlds, plus the characters that inhabit them, who are wonderfully diverse and engagingly portrayed.
These books are translated into English, but whereas with other works I've read it was impossible to tell this was the case.
These are engaging books that build a fantastic world populated by intriguing characters and are well worth reading.

The battle for sovereignty over the realms reaches a devastating turning point as the international bestselling fantasy series continues.
All that stands between the advancing army of trolls and the endangered fortress of Phylangan is a coalition force led by Alfadas, human hero and protector. He’s amassed his own legion of swordsmen, elves, and ragtag thieves to stave off the enemy. And the next move they make could be the most dangerous one of all.
Those Alfadas has left behind are more vulnerable than ever—including his star-crossed elven love; their newborn child; and Queen Emerelle herself, who remains comatose and is powerless to safeguard her compromised kingdom.
But as Alfadas risks all in the violent campaign of the realms, the fate of Phylangan trembles ever more as the enemy advances. However tenuous Alfadas’s victory is, what he fears most is what will be left of the homeland he abandoned…
