Summary: The best book in the trilogy.
Comment: This is the third and final book of The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara trilogy (after Ilse Witch and Antrax).
There are only a few survivors in the ruins of Castledown. As some of them are still trying to get out, others go in search of lost pieces of the Jerle Shannara, only to come across more monsters, the bloodthirsty beasts that dwell in the forests and mountains of Parkasia.
And not only do the heroes have to find a way to repair the airship in order to cross the Blue Divide and go back home, but the Morgawr has just arrived with a fleet of airships and is attacking them to take possession of the legendary Books of Magic that he believes have been found.
Held prisoner on Black Moclips by Cree Bega and his Mwellrets, Bek barely manages to escape with the help of the shapeshifter Truls Rohk, and goes in search of Walker in the ruins of Castledown. When they finally find him in the maze of corridors, the Ilse Witch is beside him, holding the bloodied Sword of Shannara in her hands.
What she's experiencing at this moment is the magic of the artefact flowing through her, making her see the Truth, the dreadful horror of all the things she's done under the Morgawr's dominion. So shocked, so ashamed is she of what her life has been for all these years, she hides deep within herself, and falls into a catatonic state. Before leaving, Bek promises the dying Druid to bring her back to the Four Lands and to do everything to protect her, as she has yet another destiny to fulfill.
After reading a more cheap sci-fi than fantasy Antrax, I was rather scared and didn't now what to expect of this book. To my relief, Morgawr is in my opinion the best volume of the Jerle Shannara trilogy. Packed with action, and with characters that finally grow in depth, it reminded me of some of the good old Shannara adventures.

Summary: Beyond horrid
Comment: Rehashed plot, rehashed story lines and I think Terry Brooks has lost his muse. Man, this was just horrible. Frankly, the first two in this series were the same, as was the Heritage of Shannara series.
Why do you keep reading Terry Brooks you ask? Because in 1980, Sword of Shannara was the first fantasy book I ever read and I read it over and over and over ( I was 10 and this was all new). Even now, knowing that the Sword of Shannara was shall we say a "homage" to Lords of the Ring, I still love it. Call it that clinging to innocent youth. Same deal with Elfstones, not so much with Wishsong, but I enjoyed the First King of Shannara. The rest of the series is pure scripting by the numbers that I simply read in hopes that I get that that same feeling again that I had with Sword.
Anyway, this was just horrible. The only character of interest was the Shape Changer Truls, after that, I couldn't care for anyone. Oh yes, even though Shea Ohmsford and Menion Leah have been dead for hundreds of years, the same characters exist in Bek and Quention. You can also find identical versions in his other books. Same old story: (1) orphan; (2) wizened sage; (3) bad guy; (4) save the world or get artifact.
Try reading Martin, Lynn Flemming, Hobbs or Keyes if you want to really get into a book. Keep reading this if you are one of those folks out there that keeps hoping that the Shannara series will be like it was the first time you read Sword

Summary: Great book
Comment: This book was probably my favorite out of the three Jerle Shannara books. It had more action & content then the other two, but I also loved the other books. If you haven't already read the oringal Shannara books I recommend that you do 'cause they're as good as this one.
