Summary: A dangerous weapon for the unweary....
Review: The book gives a good overview to Elven life in general, altough
some of the information is not realy necessary for an accomplished DM.
Beware: If You realy plan to let Your players have their way with all the extra rules given (Str:19 for Sylvan Elves, Bladesinger Kit and Bladesong rules are the most notable),
You'll end up with a threshing machine that can easyly outdo
the rest of the group as a whole and won't be able to find a suitable challenge only too soon.
From level 7/8 onwards, a Fighter/Mage with the abilities mentioned above and equiped with a Stoneskin/Fireshield/Haste/
Mirror Image spell-combo becomes nigh-invulnerable in close combat and will deal out amazing amounts of damage.
So I recomend to be very carefull with these abilities.
In the hands of a strong-willed PC this book endangers the ballance of any campaign.
In the hands of an accomplished DM, it can give a lot more depth to Elven life and culture.

Summary: Good, but not quite classic.
Review: The kits and details on the separate races are great. The problems lie in trying to lend a Forgotten Realms flavor to all AD&D Elves, at least it strikes me that way. I find the artwork somewhat weak, detracting from the mood.

Summary: Gives Light To The Great Elvan Race A++++++
Review: This book changed the way I played AD&D by showing me the wonders of characters beyond humans. Works great with Skills and Powers to make an elf even better. This book explains every aspect of the elf. From birth to death and beyond. A must read for any true AD&D player!

Summary: Good resource, just a little boring.
Review: This book contains everything (in almost boring detail) that a DM needs to know about any kind of traditional elves. It is a good resource, but don't operate heavy machinery afterwards. I also wish they had spent more time on the winged Elves also.

Summary: A dangerous weapon for the unweary....
Review: This is a cohesive well-thought-out book. It is organized such that information is easy to find for future reference. It was written in an easy-to-read, interesting style. It has many new ideas for running an elven campaign, however they tend to unbalance elves. Several new kits are introduced that tend to power-up elves rather than promote role-playing. Probably the best example of this is the blade-singer kit. This is a kit designed for Fighter/Mages which offers a variety of improved abilities for both the Mage and Fighter sides of the class. The major penalty for this kit is a roleplaying penalty, which matters little to powergamers. There is an optional penalty to this kit as well, which is that training a new level takes several years. Using this rule means that the other PC's are going to get pretty old by the time the bladesinger goes up a few levels. This makes them basically useless as a PC kit. According to these rules, the bladesinger is either horribly overpowered, or greviously inconvenient to the other PC's. This book rated three stars because it did have some useful information and offered some role-playing tips. However, a DM must be careful to weed out the good elements from the ugly.

Summary: If you love elves, you will REALLY love this book.
Review: This is the best book to get if you are an elf lover in AD&D. From the new items, both magical and normal, to the elf subraces, and the new kits and spells. This book has everything a elf player would need. Absent though, are details on the elven gods (Covered in "Monster Mythology") which are needed to fully understand this book. But any elf player worth their long sword would love this book.

Summary: If elves exist in your campaign world, YOU WANT THIS BOOK.
Review: This is the best rules supplement I've ever seen-and I'm not kidding. This book has everything from elven mythology, to more detail on the elven subraces, to elven holidays. It also gives hints on how to play elves, and how other elves react to certain things. Any player who has even considered playing an elf should want this book, and any DM who has elves in his/her campaign world needs it. Elves are really one of the most intriguing demi-human races for AD&D, and this book shows you how to play your elf to the fullest.

Summary: One of the best in the series
Review: This is the greatest book you will ever buy. Well, the greatest AD&D book, anyway. This book clarified the personality traits, heritage, creation, powers, rituals, holidays, and compatibility with other races of the elves. (I'm not sure how that is grammatically, but who cares...) This is the greatest resource I have, although the Herbalist is a bit weaker than I had hoped. My favorite kit is an undead slayer in Ravenloft. That makes it a bit too easy, but anyway, back to the book. This book covers everything, soup to nuts. From the creation of the elves, to the Death rituals. It even has an NPC Generator. A must have, even for Dwarf players, although they won't like what's inside...
