4.0 out of 5 stars Cliffhanger (or was there supposed to be a sixth book)?, March 23, 2000

This review is from: Dark Hours (Elfquest : the Blood of 10 Chiefs, Vol 5) (Paperback)

DARK HOURS (edited) by Richard Pini features several stories about the past ten chiefs. The stories are exhilerating and hard to put down. I should know, I've read each of the books in the series several times. But there is something different in this book. Two of the stories in the book are cliffhangers. STARTING OVER, a story continued from one of the other books in the series, is about Rahnee and Zarhan. They find themselves in a very difficult situatin with another group of elves (but I don't want to ruin it for someone who hasn't read the story.) The story ends with this dilemna and TO BE CONTINUED... but, I'd like to know WHERE! There is also another story, RIDERS OF THE STORM, about Willowgreen, Graywolf, Rellah, and Two-Spear. This story is also carried over from another of the books. In this story, Rellah's grief for her long dead daughter pushes her to try to interfere with two star-crossed lovers' situation. However, the outcome of the situation remains unresolved. One final thought, does Rellah have anything to do with the magic in THE NAMING OF STONEFIST! Even though, the outcome of these two stories has been driving me crazy, it was worth it! If you haven't already, you should read the other books in the series. Many of the stories are connected and give you insight to the characters and their lives.

4.0 out of 5 stars An interesting addition to the BoTC Line., August 20, 1997

This review is from: Dark Hours (Elfquest : the Blood of 10 Chiefs, Vol 5) (Paperback)

The triumphant prose anthology series "Blood of Ten Chiefs" continues with this anthology, and it appears that it just keeps getting better. The duds are few and far between in this book of tightly-written short stories set in the past of the world of ElfQuest - created by Wendy and Richard Pini. This is a series that has satisfied me as a reader more times than even Robert Asprin's Thieve's World series. The startling array of talents in this volume must be seen to be believed. So why isn't this book a perfect 10? Because one of the stories is "To Be Continued," and there still isn't a volume 6. That's why.
