Book Synopsis
Earth has survived two attacks by an alien army. Now, with a third invasion due, the human race must find the best commanders who can defeat a bigger, stronger enemy.
Book Review Summary
Ender’s Game is a sci-fi book that you just won’t be able to put down. Ender is the reluctant hero, a young boy who just wants to escape the bullies all around him, at home and at school. This is what propels him into the International Fleet’s grip in the first place and firmly keeps him there. This book highlights the struggle children (even brilliant children) have when confronted with those who are envious and want to bully them into submission, or even adults who want to mould a child into doing what it is they want. The story is excellent and captivating, with the suspense of how Ender and his fellow Battle School students will be able to defeat the extreme challenges laid down before them. The future of the human race is in the hands of its youngest but brightest.

The Talismans of Shannara
Book Synopsis
With the Elves returned to the Four Lands, the recovery of the Sword of Shannara and the re-emergence of the Druids, can those charged by Allanon to save the Four Lands resist the evil of the Shadowen and discover the way to end their threat.
Book Review Summary
Writing an interweaving, four-part book series is a tall ask, and the Talismans of Shannara is a brilliant finale to what has been a hugely interesting fantasy series. The story that Terry Brooks has put together has remained faithful to the original Shannara series, building upon the Sword of Shannara, the Elfstones, the wishsong magic and the legend of the Druid Allanon – and building a wonderful story on top. The threat posed by Rimmer Dall and the Shadowen have been a worthy adversary of those who fight for good, being the greatest threat faced by the Four Lands so far. The discovery behind the Shadowen’s power and Par’s wild wishsong magic, with a battle raging that will annihilate the Elves, makes this an exciting and rewarding conclusion to the series.
