Product Description

Review

Praise for Terry Brooks: 'A marvellous fantasy trip' Frank Herbert 'If Harry Potter has given you a thirst for fantasy and you have not discovered the magic of Terry Brooks, you are in for a treat' Rocky Mountain News 'Confirms Terry's place at the head of the fantasy world' Philip Pullman


Product Description

'The past is always with us, but sometimes we fail to recognise it for what it is.' These were Jair Ohmsford's final thoughts as he walked away from the carnage at Dun Fee Aran, having destroyed at last the book of dark magic known as the Ildatch. Following this great event, told in The Wishsong of Shannara, Jair discovers that he can draw on a form of magic that allows him to transform into other living creatures, both human and non-human. The magic is both powerful and seductive, for Jair can feel himself wanting to remain in each new form that he tries. Jair sets out for the family home of Shady Vale, seeking peace from the temptations of his unwanted gift. But fate has other plans for the heir to the elven magics of Shannara, and the shade of the Druid Allanon sets him, and his sister Brin, on a new path. The way is perilous, but Jair can provide protection with his new magical ability. Of course, that may be the most dangerous path of all ...

3.0 out of 5 stars The first-ever graphic novel set in the world of Shannara, 3 April 2008
By Fiz "anon." (Yorkshire, England) - See all my reviews
I am not quite sure how to start this review. This is a graphic novel told using pictures like a comic story book. Ok if you like this sort of thing. The illustrations are excellent but the story is lacking something probably because the Shannara books are so indepth and this seems to start in the middle of the story and doesn't seem to quite work as another Shannara story. I would describe this as a short story it only took me about 1 hour to read. There are some interesting bits at the end of the book about how the book came about and was made and some of the early artist's sketches. Worth reading if you are a big Shannara fan and wonder what the characters like Allanon look like in graphic pictures. Should be read after The Wishsong of Shannara.

2.0 out of 5 stars Avid Terry Brooks Fan, but ....., 8 April 2008
By Mr. I. P. Williams - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Up front, I am a die hard Terry Brooks fan, but this did not work for me at all. I have the greatest admiration for Terry trying new things, although, I suspect, he was not the driving force behind this particular project. Graphics fabulous, story line good, but this is not Terry Brooks at his best, wrong medium. His fans are probably used to and love his in depth books, with emotion, heroic characters, complex plots,etc., etc.

To me, this was a Chinese take-away, eat one and you want another an hour later.

If Terry choses to do another graphic novel, like most fans, I will probably buy it, if only for interest sake.

Downside to this graphic novel, is that I now have a pictorial image of Slanter, Cogline, the Rets and Whisper, etc., but I will try to block this out, as it does not co-incide with my mental images.

However, if this book introduces a new audience to the wonderous World of TB, then the whole exercise will have been worth it.

I am really looking forward to reading the Gypsy Morph and, as Terry has said before, the book is better than the film and now the graphic novel.

Regards.

Paul

1.0 out of 5 stars Dark Wraith of Shannara, 4 April 2008
By Debbie (Kent, UK) - See all my reviews
I am not at all into comic books and when I ordered it, assumed it was a normal novel. I returned it immediately. Only order if you want to read a comic type book!! Drawings are good at the back though!
