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.
