A slow start, but a good book. It follows elves and their descendants through three major times in their history, the last being apocalyptic. The first third had me wondering if I should continue reading it. Right around the end of it, I wanted to know more, which propelled me into reading the second and third parts. Over all, a good read. I would read it again.
Nice break from any heavy reading. This gives an entertaining history of the wild elves of the DragonLance world. Three different parts, containing major events in the Kagonesti history. Nice history and easy read.

(Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)But his joy came from an even greater knowledge, the truth that--as the wild elves made new homes in the forest, as they stalked and roamed through lands they had never seen--once more the tribe would know peace and would grow.
