No one has reviewed this yet? I guess that's because there isn't much to review ... since Elfquest is a series, followers MUST purchase each new installment. Once hooked, there is little choice.

Having said that, it is clear that the first four books are the strongest. The Pini's have continued to produce, thank goodness, but one wishes they could regain the focus and intensity of the first four volumes.

I think that this book, though I like the whole series, is one of the most intriging. The authors reveal secrets about the charachters, like the info on Nightfall and Redlance. I thought the fact that they managed to work so many of the older characters, like Picknose, Oddbit and "Grammama". Other characters were new, like Trinket and Ekuar. (They have mentioned Ekuar before but not really.) This is one of my favorite books.

In book #7, we see the struggle of Strongbow who; in the last graph.novel killed Kureel who carried his son, Dart off with his carrion bird. Someting is also going on with Nightfall and Redlance who are lovemates. The go-backs, who failed to protect Ekuar are driven away from the palace of the high ones by rayek. Suntop hears a cry that is by elves who are yet to be found, and is helped by rayek who floats the palace to the wolfrider's holt. they debait about who goes with rayek and suntop to find the cry and assist the elves elswhere. the whole tribe of wolfriders go to sorrow's end where they are treated like royalty. They begin thier journey to the place of the cry where they become one with the land.

At first, I was sad and thought that is this what EQ is becoming?
This? I'd like to cry.
But I read more. This is a good one, though I don't like the drawings. But this comic really made me laugh. And this had a tale in it, a good one. Some EQs don't have very much happening and story inside them, but this one has.
Go on, read this one. EQ will never be what it was in original quest (comics 1-4), but it's still alive.

I have been collecting the graphic novel series since I was in 5th grade and last month I moved and I lost the whole collection in a move if anyone knows how I can get this whole collection again please e-mail me.

Like just about every other book in the series, I absolutely loved this volume. The Pinis have created a truly unique and wondrous story that captivates the imagination and tears at the heart, and this installment is no exception. A must read for anyone who loves a good story.
