First, this might sound bias because Elfquest is my favorite book series. I consider Wendy and Richard Pini to be one of the greatest story tellers of our time. I would say the first eight books are the best, and I've been reading Elfquest way back when the first graphic novels were released. "In All But Blood" is a great book, where the stories fall between or right after the first 8 books. If you're a fan of Elfquest, I would highly recommened this book. If you havn't read Elfquest, I suggest you do yourself a huge favor and order book 1, Fire and Flight. You won't be dissapointed.
