Summary: My favorite book
Comment: Terry Brooks is my favorite author because, of the authors that I've read, he seems to have the most evil-seeming antagonists. The shadowen in the Hertige of shannara series just reek of evil. A swarming pestilence that surrounds and destroyes all that is virtuous.
The Talismans of Shannara is my favorite book period. It is a book of characters getting out of apparently impossible situations and accomplishing their goals. It gives all the other books in the series, (which are admittedly a little disappointing because they don't seem to go anywhere), an endpoint, making the whole adventure complete. Talismans of Shannara is basically a great ending to a great series. It is comparable to the ending in Independance Day or Return of the Jedi. Evil is thwarted, but it WASN't easy. In order to know what's going on I suppose you ought to at least read the other Heritage of Shannara books, but in my opinion, Talismans of Shannara is crowning jewel of the works of Terry Brooks. I'd give it six stars if I could. W.B.R.

Summary: Talismans of Shannara
Comment: I read the book Tailsmans of Shannara by Terry Brooks. This book is the 7th in the series and continues off the one before it. I would suggest this book to grade 8 and up. This book is fantasy. The Shadowen, things that are almost imposable to kill swarm the four lands. Their dark magic killing everything. Their leader is determined to kill the scions of Shannara. For walker he sends the four horsemen. Wren he gives an untrue friend. Par he takes control of his brother Coll and leads par to a terrible fate. When I was reading I got into the book really quickly. This book was easy to get into because the other one left me wondering.

Summary: Great ending ,to a great series.
Comment: I have been quite satisfied by The Heritage of Shannara.It has turned out to be just as good as the first series,but in some different ways.Finally,everything comes out suspensfully satisfying in the end.
Par is definately one of the best characters ever.He has so much conflict within him ,and his love with Damson is so vivid.He developes tons through the series ,as do Walker,Morgan,and Wren.
Even though I'm not the greatest fan of fight scenes,I have to say,Walker's struggle with the Four Horsemen is one of the greatest fight scene's in all literature.It's up there with the Fellowship of the Ring's struggle in Moria,with Risca's battle with the Northland Army,with the spectacular Dave Duncan scenes,with all those scenes in Dragonlance.It's truly the most exciting part in the book.
I was glad to see that Morgan finally got his girl.After his devastating experience with Quickening,it was nice to see him happy.
The Sword of Shannara has been found,the Elves have returned,Walker has become a Druid,all the tasks which Allanon commanded to the Scions of Shannara have been completed.Now Rimmer Dall,leader of the Shadowen plans a fate for each of them.He sets his army against Wren,he sends the Four Horsemen against Walker,and to Par,to Par he sends a fate of terror beyond imagining......................
