The Forbidden Grove (Elfquest Graphicnovel, No 2)

Summary: There ARE 'five-star-elfquest-books'...
Review: ...This just isn't one of them. Reading 'The Forbidden Grove', I often get the feeling that the story stands still. Oh, there are good parts; Skywise and Cutter getting drunk, is one example. There just aren't enough. The quality of the storyline is uneaven, although all the pictures are great (Bad drawings don't exist in Pini's publications before 'Siege at Blue Mountain'). I don't know why, but there's a picture where Skywise pulls Cutters head under water that I love. A good thing with the book is that I as a reader get a feeling of how good friends Cutter and Skywise really are, something that don't always show in other EQ-books.

I like it, but ther're better EQ's further ahead!

Summary: "The Forbidden Grove"
Review: If you like magic, battles, and mysteries you will love this book. The characters are cool, and the locations are neat. For example, the character's names (such as Treestump, Skywise, Cutter, Rayek, and Winowill) are interesting. The artwork is great because of the shading and the dimensional work. When warriers are fighting and strange things are happening the characters say things like "I'LL CUT OUT YOUR GUTS AND ROAST 'EM IN THE FIRE PIT!" and the trolls say "BY GRAYMUG'S BLACKENED BONES!" and the humans say "YOU'RE BOUND FOR NOWHERE BUT THE DOOM PIT!". So as you can see ELFQUEST "The Forbidden Grove" is a super cool book!

Summary: Brothers
Review: True to their relationship in Fire and Flight, Cutter and Skywise prove to readers that they are indeed "brothers in all but blood", as they travel the world of two moons in search of other elves, so that all the children of the High Ones may be reunited. They meet some of the most Enchanting dangers along the way, that perhaps any work of fantasy may boast, and the artwork By Wendy remains SUPERB as ever. You cannot help but be touched by the relationships in this and the other seven original full color elfquest graphic novels by Wendy and Richard Pini.
