part of this anthology: Dreamsinger's Tale by Janny Wurts - 5 stars
This little story takes us back to Huntress Skyfire and her companion wolf Woodbiter from 'Tale of the Snowbeast' in 'The Blood of Ten Chiefs #1'.
Woodbiter is old now, and surly where he had once been full of antics. And Skyfire is stronger and faster than ever, the chieftess of her pack of Wolfriders. But something is missing, lacking and not right and Skyfire can't see or understand what.
Alone in the forest at night she hears a haunting melody and follows. What she finds out on that trail will turn her life upside down and may be a blessing or a curse for herself, as well as her whole race.
Haunting and imaginative this tale is one to keep!
Skyfire's Wolfriders Den - that's how I picture it. (elves fence forest wolf fantasy wallpaper)

This is an anthology of short stories all set in the same world. If you haven't read the first volume. this will be harder to get into for you. In this world, elves are more similar to wolf shifters. The stories were fine, but none compelled me to want to find out more about the characters featured.

It's a mixed bag of stories. Some like Stormlight's Way sang to me and others like Summer Tag did not.
I think for Elfquest fans it is worth it to pick it up, but I think the best stories generally were ones that there are no comics of. Because then you won't compare.
