Narration Supposing Books Straken (High Druid of Shannara #3)

The High Druid of Shannara trilogy draws to a thrilling close as a young hero nears completion of his trial by fire, a banished ruler fights for her life in a wilderness of dread, and forces of darkness and light square off in a battle unto death for the right to absolute rule. Prepare to be spellbound by the masterly hand of bestselling legend weaver Terry Brooks, conjuring at the peak of his skills.

For reasons known only to himself, the King of the Silver River has charged young Penderrin Ohmsford, barely more than a boy, with the daunting task of rescuing his aunt, Grianne, Ard Rhys of the Druid order, from her forced exile in the terrifying dimension of all things damned: the Forbidding. With the noble dwarf Tagwen and the prodigal elven princess Khyber Elessedil by his side–and with the outcome of the bloody war between the Federation and the Free-born at stake–Pen has accepted his mission without question. But not without risk . . . or sacrifice.

Because Shadea a’Ru, the ruthless Druid responsible for imprisoning the true Ard Rhys and usurping leadership at Paranor, has sent her agents and assassins in relentless pursuit of Pen and his comrades. And in securing the talisman he needs to breach the Forbidding, Pen has paid a devastating price. Now if the Free-born forces–already decimated by the Federation’s death-dealing new weapon–should fall, Shadea’s domination of the Four Lands will be assured. Nothing short of Pen’s success can turn the tide.

But Pen’s challenge grows greater when he learns that his parents, Bek Ohmsford and Rue Meridian, have fallen into Shadea’s hands. He must try to help them–but once within the walls of Druid’s Keep, where Shadea’s minions and dark magic lurk at every turn, Pen’s survival is far from assured. Yet it will all pale in comparison to the horrors that wait inside the Forbidding–horrors poised to break free upon the Four Lands when the time is right. . . .

Piece Of Books Straken (High Druid of Shannara #3)

I have yet to read a Shannara book that has disappointed me, I've been progressively happy throughout three different sets of Brooks Shannara stories, and at this point I'm just curious how far he jumps in lineage because I feel like he left it open for the current group of characters to continue. I have been happy with all of the Ohmsford's thus far and I feel like Penderrin has a lot of potential left in him. I wonder how far he can get as a sorcerer or at least a Ohmsford level sorcerer with

#23/29 in my Epic Shannara Quest.Exciting conclusion to what has been, for me, the most consistently entertaining Shannra series to date. The dark tone slowly gives way to an ending that was in no way unexpected, but mostly satisfying. A descendant of Leah played no part in the trilogy, though it was stated that Quentin Leah (from The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara trilogy) died 18 years after the adventures in Parkasia, which would have put just shy of 40--maybe he didn't leave an heir. I also

An underwhelming finish for the series. It was oddly paced and the epic conclusion was over in quite the rush.

Terry Brooks has done it again!One thing I admire about Terry Brooks is his ability to bring everything together in a way no other author is really able to. His action and adventure lends itself to explode in the readers imagination and makes the reader want to continue to read more, even if they don't like the direction of the story.I kind of saw the ending of the book coming, and I was sad because I didn't want it to end the way it did, but it made complete sense. Terry Brooks was able to put

TBA but this is my favourite in the series so far.

Finally at peaceLast of this trilogy...ending did not disappoint. And oddly the tale is also a love story. I enjoyed reading them all immensely.

I'm feeling too bitter to write a write a proper review, but you should know that this rating has nothing to do with the quality of the book. The book was awesome, the trilogy was amazing, the entire story was great. And I hated the ending.And don't mistake the meaning of that. The ending of this book is well written and exceptionally beautiful. I just hated what happened. Don't ever do something like this to me again, Terry Brooks.
