The Forbidden Grove

If you've read ElfQuest Book 1: Fire and Flight, be prepared to be astounded again. This book is the continuation of the plot of the first book, (indubitably). Within Forbidden Grove, the beginning of the true quest [the first of many of the ElfQuest series] actually begins -- please say "Wow" if you have only read EQ book one thusfar. This novel takes place seven years after the finale of book one, and it opens the saga that eventually lead to the ongoing storyline(s) for the next twenty years. Cutter, leader of the Wolfrider tribe, has found peace and serenity in his new home along with the other members of his tribe (and family, if you haven't yet read book one!). However, there stirs a longing in him, a new "need" to be fulfilled. He sets out, with friend Skywise, into the unexplored direction to find answerss; and unexpected surprises, as their journeyings reveal. While he and Skywise are away, the other members of the tribe are compelled to follow him: one exceptionally intuitive character has overwhelming feelings of doom, ones that the tribe feel can only be quelled by finding and averting Cutter in his path. An excellent, excellent book.

Swinging is fun. I like it. The feel of the wind flowing past your face is indescribable. Pumping your legs to get higher and higher. Sometimes jumping off at the pivotal moment but returning to claim your swing once more. There is nothing like it in this whole big universe. The book was good too.

This is simply an out of print version of book 2. The story-line is the same, but for those hardcore elfquesters out there, it's simply a must have.
