Product Description

Product Description
The descendants of the Elven house of Shannara had all completed their quests: Paranor, the Druid's Keep, had been restored; the Elves had been returned to the Four Lands; and Par Ohmsford had found what he believed to be the legendary Sword of Shannara. But their work was not yet done - for Rimmer Dall, the leader of the Shadowen, was determined that the scions of Shannara would not share with each other the knowledge that would end the sickness. Walker Boh, Wren Elessedil and Par would all face terrible opponents before they could discharge the Druid Allanon's tasks ... --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Walker Boh is the Best!!!, 1 Dec 2001
By tess@fenlet.co.uk (London, England) - See all my reviews
This is one of my favourite series ever, and this and "The Scions" were definitely the best.

In "The Elfqueen" it went on way too long and I got bored with Wren and was dying to know what had happenned to the other characters, especially Walker. At some points during the journey through Morrowindl, I got so bored that I wanted to stop reading. By the end, however, the events had speeded up, and I found myself hooked once more.

In "The Druid" I felt that the story line was strung out over too many pages, and they spent way way too long doing almost nothing in Eldwist. Also, the characterisation of Walker and Morgan was a little low. The Morgan - Quickening match just does not work because we do mot hear enough ot Quickening's views on it, and because we have no proof that Morgan feels any different to everyone else Quickening meets.

This book was undoubtedly the best, because it told you what was happenning to all the characters. By the end of "The Elf Queen" I had fallen in love with Walker Boh! He is perfect in every way, and it was easy to relate to his fear and understand exactly how he feels about the Druids. I think everything he did was right, and that he is by far the best character I have ever read about.

Overall, this was a brilliant book.

Feel free to email me about it!

5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing book. It is an excellent finale to the series., 23 Jul 2000
By A Customer
This book has many twists and turns that keep you in suspense throughout. It concludes the 'Heritage of Shannara'series and Terry Brook's fans will most definitely not be disapointed.

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent conclusions, 17 Mar 2007
By C. Parrott "CP" (Edinburgh) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is an excellent read that will keep you turnng the pages. Betweens battle with Walker in the Druids keep, Wren as she comands the Elven army and Par and Coll's battling for survival. These are simply just a few things that are happening in this dramatic conclusions to an excellent seris.

With all the threads from the last three books coming together is hard to believe just how much is crammed into this excellent book. You can really feel what is happening in this book thanks to fantastic and ever changing story writting.

One the must read fantasy books.
