Publisher Description

From bestselling author Terry Brooks comes the final thrilling novel in a brand-new trilogy—The Dark Legacy of Shannara!
 
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

For centuries the Four Lands enjoyed freedom from its demon-haunted past, protected by magic-enhanced borders from the dark dimension known as the Forbidding and the profound evil imprisoned there. But now the unthinkable is happening: The ancient wards securing the barrier between order and mayhem have begun to erode—and generations of bloodthirsty, monstrous creatures, fueled by a rage thousands of years in the making, are poised to spill forth, seeking revenge for what was done to them.
 
Young Elf Arling Elessedil possesses the enchanted means to close the breach and once more seal the denizens of the Forbidding in their prison. But when she falls into the hands of the powerful Federation’s diabolical Prime Minister, her efforts may be doomed. Only her determined sister, Aphen, who bears the Elfstones and commands their magic, has any hope of saving Arling from the hideous fate her captor has in store.
 
Meanwhile, Railing Ohmsford—desperate to save his imprisoned brother—seeks to discover if his famed but ill-fated ancestor Grianne is still alive and willing to help him save the world . . . no matter the odds or the consequences.

BONUS: This edition includes an excerpt from Terry Brooks's The High Druid's Blade.

Good, but Unrefined

I'm a longtime fan of Terry Brooks... 20 years. This most recent series was good, but as a reader I didn't have the vivid experience that I am used to from Terry's work. Everything felt rushed. Air travel seems to rob the reader of the journey that the characters normally endure. There were too many stories going on at the same time, and not enough time spent on them. I also felt like there was too much time spent on the characters inner thoughts and insecurities, and not nearly enough on more intricate plot details and descriptive imagery. The hero's were soft and weak, as were the villains. We need another Allanon/Eventine Elessidil/Wil Ohmsford/Logan Tom, and another Dagda Mor/Reaper/Findo Gask...

Overall, I love Terry's imagination. But this story could have been split into larger books with more detail in the plot, less fluff in the form of inner dialogue, and better characters.

Truly engaging

I have read all of Brook’s books a dozen times over. This novel could’ve been a thousand pages long and I would’ve read every page in detail. I loved his initial works, but starting with Isle Witch, his best works have come later in the mega series. If you loved the Sword, Elfstones, Wishsong, These later works are an absolute treat that get your mind flairing with images and stories. Literally enough to make you laugh at loud, and cry in despair.
