I like it. I am sorry I am not a great critic, able to give you a lot of constructive criticism. But as a person who listens/reads a lot of fanatasy books, I think it has potential. I like that you humanize the non-human characters. I think there is a niche for that in the fantasy genre - look at Saphira in Eragon and the dragons in the Anne McCaffrey. I think my wife who is a big reader would like it.
