I'm not much for urban fantasy, and I have bounced off Michelle West before, but I am absolutely up for sci-fi versions of elves - honestly, I would have used my atevi icon for this post if I didn't have the new one to show off! - and things that are basically-elves-but-with-a-different-name. Which reminds me, I should finish the Winds of the Forelands series. (It has a race of Basically Elves, except short-lived instead of long-lived, which is linked to their usage of magic.) Next time I go to the used bookstore, I'll have a look for Earthrise and Forelands books. :D
I don't get the impression that the Witcherverse does all that much with its elves, what with the focus being on, well, witchers, but I am officially peeved at Netflix turning it into a show before I could read the series, because now they've redone all the books with ugly covers I don't want to buy and the local library has a 3-week waiting list for most of them and just doesn't have the rest at all. *grump grump*
Oh, but speaking of the used bookstore, I should look for more Sherman novels! Apparently she never finished the Prince of the Sidhe series (or, well, she stopped after two novels, and the main character never gets un-exiled, so I'm calling that unfinished), but some of her other titles sound promisingly elfy. :D
