Yet another masterpiece by Wendy Pini. I had only just finished "Forevergreen" (I constantly read them out of order), and to see the crisp, smooth drawings was like a breath of fresh air. This is in no way an insult to Barry Blair, or any other Elfquest artist; I merely mean that Wendy knows best what her elves look like, and captures the essense of each personality. The artwork looks three-dimensional, so that it seems to have a depth that some of the other Reader's Collections lack. I look at each page, marveling "That's how Shenshen and Cutter look like!"

Dreamtime's story wasn't skimped on, either. The dreams add new insights and facets to each Wolfriders' personality, and were told in an inventive way. In favorites, i'm torn between Pike's story and "Dreamtime - Pt?" I don't want to give too much of the story away, though, so I won't tell you too much about it: Just that it's terrific!

For those who prefer the art of Wendy Pini, this is the book for you. It is part of a series of phonebook-format collections of the more recent series and features the characters we all know and love. After Rayek whisked the palace away from the time the Wolfriders existed in, they slept for 10,000 years awaiting the return of Cutter's family. Surely they did not spend the entire span of time completely unconscious! This book follows the dreams they had as they were suspended in timeless slumber--and the intriguing message this brings to the tribe. Although this series is done by the original artist, don't be fooled. Both the beautiful art and the lovely writing are part of Wendy's newer, more mature style--and boy, is it a treat! A "must-read", as Siskel and Eibert might say.

This was great, even Wendi was in this book it was so good. Dreams, a subconshus thought or the future waitong to happen. Or mabey they teach us a lesson. Find out in this book.

"The Blood of wolves flowed through ten generations of Wolfrider Chiefs and their Tribefolk...It tied them beyond all untying to the world and it's cycle of life. And if the price was mortality then no one knew it, for rare indeed was the Wolfrider who died peacefully of old age." Once again, the Pini's proved that Cutter was the exception to that rule! The Son Ten Chiefs carried his tribe into a future they were never meant to see, in the name of love. Elf Quest is a classic story, well told and immensly inspiring, proving noone is truly bound to a single fate. I hope Elf Quest will never really go away. I hope Cutter and the Wolfriders will continue and beat the odds and carry us along with them on their incredible journey!

The plot of this story was great! The art was great! It was Wendy's best work!!!!!!!! Buy it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought that it was a wonderful story full of our favorite characters. It was one of the best of the elfquest books that I've read in a while.

I love it when the characters, plot and storyline all flow as nicely as this one did. Great Job!!!!
