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

Book Synopsis

The quest that took the crew of the Jerle Shannara to Castledown is coming to an end and it seems that few will survive, especially now that the powerful warlock Morgawr has come to destroy them.

Book Review Summary
An interesting (and somewhat different) storyline for the Shannara series comes to a conclusion. It’s been a trying time for the party led by the Druid Walker who took them across the Blue Divide to Castledown and few of the those who made it will survive. The arrival of the formidable Morgawr means their survival looks bleak and it spells the end for Grianne Ohmsford if she can not break out the mental abyss that the Sword of Shannara has sent her into. One again Brooks connects the story well and brings each character to a worthy conclusion given their storylines. While the conclusion is enjoyable to read the overall series feels like it’s a little drawn out and could have been covered faster, especially given the futile time the party have in their expedition to Parkasia. The overall story does bring together a number of strands in the overall series together, with an ending that sets up a new course for the Shannara story to follow.
