DESCRIPTION:
Joined by stalwarts Elf Prince Ahren Elessedil and Tagwen the dwarf, Grianne's charming nephew, Pen Ohmsford, takes the spotlight as the hero of the new trilogy.. Devotees of the Shannara series will delight in this sequel to Voyage of the Jerle Shannara: Morgawr. In the previous novel, the love of her courageous brother, Bek, enabled the Ilse Witch to renounce her evil existence and resume her younger identity as Grianne Ohmsford. The new book begins twenty years later, when Grianne, now head of a Druid Council formed to defend the Four Lands from anarchy and warfare, is challenged by those who cannot forget her former malevolence. When Grianne disappears, only a few loyal friends can help her escape from her prison among the Jarka Ruus
I'm done with series writing. I think I'm done with Terry Brooks. When I finished this book, I realized nothing much happened. It was all setup. Not to mention there's a lot of repetition, and the main character falls in love with another character immediately. I hate that crap. I refuse to r. A solid book in one of the best sets in this series. Joel Dalton I'm currently re-reading the entire series from start to finish. I'm on the 3rd book of this particular trilogy. "Jarka Ruus" takes us into the lives of the characters from the last set books, a couple of decades down the road. This is a first for this series as .

Devout Shannara fans will find their favorite magical realm exactly as they left it and no doubt anticipate this cliffhanger's sequel. The good news is that Brooks remains a master of description and the book hums along with comfortable ease. Pen along with Khyber and her uncle, the Elven Prince Ahren Elessedil, learn they must jump through the usual Brooks' hoops to unlock the door of the Forbidding and free Grianne. Her fate falls in the lap of the youngest Ohmsford, Penderrin, who unlike his Aunt Grianne and his parents is without the gift of magic. Brooks is right at home in this formulaic addition to the Shannara franchise. --Jeremy
