This was sad and sweet and nice, and good tidbits from the stories (which I've mainly read in Norwegian). What happened between the event following Kahvi and the one following Ember though? Which volume is it I need to pick up?

Wonderful! drawings and story as usual however. I particularly enjoyed Patch.

A collection of stories from The Hidden Years of Elfquest, all drawn and made by the Pini-couple.
I like this book quite a lot. I love the colors and the art, and how each story is about some form of love, and how they might both hurt and heal.
I always get teary-eyed at the first and last story - even if the last one technically happened before the main series - and frustrated and relieved by some of the others.

I had rated this book at a 4/5 stars back when I added it to Goodreads in 2014, but not I changed that rating up to 5/5 stars. It's a very good collection of stories in many ways, after all, and I don't have anything negative to say about it, and it makes me feel things. Which, when all is said and done, is the thing that stands between a 4 or 5 star rating for me.

I read these stories online. This is a collection of issues 1-5 of Hidden Years.
