The elves seem more life-like in the the sil because you learn more about them. in the other novels they are more of an enigma. they also have changed with the times they grow weary of the world and all become more sad.

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all that wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.
