This is a good Elfquest story, in my opinion. It's not my favorite, but it's not bad either. I really enjoy getting to know Tyleet better, and I like the over-all plot showing so many sides of humanity and nature.
I am sad that the Pinis decided to draw this comic - although I'm also glad, for I really, really like their artstyle - instead of the next book, but I understand they can't fit everything into their schedule. Including telling parallel stories at the same time. The reason I'm mentioning this here instead for for the actual comic in question, is because I'm sad Ember didn't have a bigger role in this book. She's my fave of all the elves. Always has been.

While I did not enjoy this as much as the other ones, ElfQuest is still one of my favorite graphic novel series. In some ways I liked having more humans in the story, but I wanted more of the elves! I've grown to love so many of these characters and can't wait to read more.

Was für ein verdammt gutes Buch und ein verdammt gutes Ende für den ersten Zyklus. Ich liebe es!

Up until now the Elfquest collections have been re-reads for me, this is the first one that isn’t. Of course I’m curious to know the rest of the story about the elves and their quests, but for me some of the magic is lost compared to the earlier volumes. I don’t know if it’s because I’m older now (I hope not!), or because there are so many damn humans in this story. Or it might just be the drawings.
Because this is also the first time the majority of the drawings are not by Wendi Pini. Don’t get me wrong, all the artists that have contributed are really very talented, and once in a while it’s even hard to tell them apart from a real Pini. But I can, and being so close to the beloved characters, but not quite, feels like a special kind of longing. And every time I come across a few pages drawn by Wendy herself, it feels like taking a deep breath after having held it for a long while.
