About this listen

The second volume of The Heritage of Shannara, which continues one of the most popular fantasy series of all time

Ancient evil forces remain in control of the Four Lands. To restore the Kepp of the Druid Allanon, Walker Boh sets out on a journey to find the black Elfstone. After narrowly escaping death, he learns that the Elfstone lies in the hands of the Stone King. Now Walker Boh must venture into perilous, unknown lands with a strange band of fellow travelers that includes Morgan Leah, whose once-magic sword has been broken; Quickening, the daughter of the ancient King; and Pe Ell, an assassin who hatches his own dark, sinister plot.

Thus continues the enthralling Shannara epic, a spellbinding tale of adventure, magic, and myth....

As always Terry Brooks does not disappoint. This episode is no different. However… I am sure the narrator is very good and some will enjoy his style but I personally, did not. I found the lack of flow between sentences to be extremely jarring and was left feeling as if I were being given a list of instructions one after another. I tried hard to ignore this but such was the consistency of this staccato style that I was distracted and slightly annoyed. It felt less a reading and more a telling. I was somewhat disappointed as the ‘reading’ detracted from what is otherwise a wonderful episode of a fantastic story.

Another awesome Terry Brooks offering
