In general I enjoyed this. The more abstract stories were harder for me to relate to, but in general seeing elves struggle as we do in the beginning was good.
Some of the stories were more entertaining than others and some built more on the world than others.
And it's nice to continue to see from different perspectives because that makes you feel more sympathy for characters that if you just heard from one perspective or another you wouldn't like a character as much.
For fans of Elfquest this book is worth picking up
