Huh, I guess I read further than I had thought as a kid, because this volume was familiar, too-while still good, it feels like it’s spinning its wheels a bit. And I get a bit bored of Winnowill as a villain.

I enjoyed this volume. Admittedly, I haven't read the other volumes, so some sections were confusing, though I've read a couple smaller episodes from earlier on in the story. My main exposure to the Elfquest story line has been in listening to the music written for the series, and I was intrigued to see some of the connections between the songs and the story.
Anyways, I hope to eventually pick up some of the other volumes to see see what comes before and after. :-)
