Antrax (The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara) – Book Review

Book Synopsis

With the Druid Walker disappeared and the crew of the Jerle Shannara killed at Castledown or imprisoned by the Isle Witch, the survivors must uncover how to escape their enemies and survive the lethal creation known as Antrax.

Book Review Summary

There’s nothing in this book that is ground-breaking that we haven’t seen in the Shannara series or hasn’t already been alluded to in it’s predecessor in the series, the Isle Witch. What there is though is still captivating, as we learn far more about Castledown and what brought specific people along on the quest. Some parts of the story do take a while to get back to covering, such as Walker’s, and some parts of the story don’t progress that far, like Bek’s. However, Terry Brooks is well capable of weaving a tale together and this book certainly feels like it has its part to play in the Voyage of Jerle Shannara trilogy. Readers of the Isle Witch, or who have follower Walker Boh in the Scions of Shannara series, will certainly want to see where his adventure leads him to this time around as he battles Antrax allied by talismans of past victories, including the Sword of Shannara and the Elfstones.
