Autumn of Elves is the continuation of the Seasons of Elves series. The story starts with the end of summer break right around the corner. Aly and the rest of her family are going to the harvest festival, which is their tradition every year. The whole family is having a good time until Aly's parents go to buy cookies to take home. Aly, her ten year old sister Emily, and her grandma sit on a bench to rest while her parents are off buying cookies. Then, Emily sees what she thinks is a young girl. Aly and her grandma know exactly what it is, but Emily has no idea of the danger they are in. Luckily, Aly, Emily, and Grandma are able to get back home unscathed. Immediately after they get home, Aly starts to teach Emily about the new world she has been introduced to. Soon after, Aly's grandma discovers that one of the colonies of light elves is without a guardian. What will happen to the colony of light elves that doesn't have a guardian? Can Aly keep Emily safe? Will Emily become a guardian herself? Find out in the second book of The Seasons of Elves!

Opinion: 

I thought Autumn of Elves was another great read from Joanne Vruno. It was filled with magic, adventure, and suspense. I loved that the author put a new twist into the story; I would never have expected that Emily would be able to see the magical creatures too. The book kept me interested and engaged. I wasn't able to guess what would happen next; it was unpredictable. 

A part in the book that I really liked was when Emily first saw a troll. It was so funny how the troll tried to get the attention of Aly’s family. Time and again it failed, and it finally walked away in defeat. I can't think of any part in the book that I didn't like. It was fantastic from start to finish. I think this book would be great for anyone who read and loved the first book. I also recommend it for anyone who likes magic and adventure.
