Format:Hardcover
I thought the book was absolutely brilliant, hence the title, and I think, in my humble opinion, that it was one of Terry's best ever books, although there are so many wonderful books to choose between. I thought the way he tied the Genesis series, via this instalment, towards the start of the main Shannara books was extremely clever. We now know the fate of Cat and Panther or do we ? Loads of new, complex and interesting characters (goodies and baddies).

No spoilers here and I cannot wait for the next instalment.

Rest assured, if you like this genre, you will absolutely adore this book.

Big plus to Amazon, I received the book two days earlier than I expected it, so a huge bonus.

Regards.

Paul

Awesome 21 Oct 2010
Format:Hardcover
Terry Brooks brings all the threads from his previous novels together, not as complex as his others but just as enthralling as usual.
Would definately recomend for fans and novice Terry Brooks readers alike!

You know what to expect with Brooks.
The format in this book is so similar to most of the Shannara novels that they could be written using the same formula. Read more
