Elfquest Book #09: Rogue's Challenge by Wendy Pini, Richard Pini

5.0

''Let me show you what I have never shared with anyone else''
Oh, Cutter, you break my heart.

The rest of this book is a little meh. It retcons some events mentioned in the original story, as well as messing up the timeline of the original story. It is interesting to see where the Gliders and the Wolfriders differed in their arrival to to the world of Two Moons, and it's interesting to see how Leetah became the woman we know and love. But, I never liked Rayek, and not because of what he does in Broken Circle, but because of who he is, and how he thinks he owns everything - or at least he should.

So the events leading up to the last story in this book are just meh, and together they get a 3/5 star rating. But that last story... it breaks my heart, it made me cry, and even if Rayek does a bit of growing, it does not change him much in my eyes. My tears are for Cutter and what he lost.
