About this ebook

War with the Nation of Darkness is inevitable—or so the Theocracy’s leaders believe with every part of their beings. With such an obvious threat on their borders, there’s no time to waste on lesser concerns, so they decide to eliminate the elf king who has been a thorn in their sides for too long! Meanwhile, Ainz sets out for the elf country on what he’s decided to call a paid vacation. His real goal is to create an opportunity for Aura and Mare to make some friends their age—even as the Theocracy armies march on the capital! The twins know their wise ruler has his hopes pinned on them and won’t stop until they bring this forest under the control of Ainz Ooal Gown!

Ratings and reviews

I like the world building and all the details, but I couldn't help but be annoyed with Ainz in this part. His whole idea of making the dark elf twins friends is so lame. They don't even feel like dark elves, they were created by Supreme beings lol.

This book is mostly setting up for something bigger but I was left disappointed that nothing noteworthy or heart pounding happened. I am excited for the next book and the payoff for the war between elves and the theocracy.

This book did not meet my expectations. It was like reading the first half of a good book, everything building up to an epic event... but it cuts off before anything significant can occur. I look forward to the next book, but wish I'd waited until it was available to read this one.
