5.0 out of 5 stars Great ending ,to a great series. Sep 21 2003
By Andrew Plimpton
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I have been quite satisfied by The Heritage of Shannara.It has turned out to be just as good as the first series,but in some different ways.Finally,everything comes out suspensfully satisfying in the end.
Par is definately one of the best characters ever.He has so much conflict within him ,and his love with Damson is so vivid.He developes tons through the series ,as do Walker,Morgan,and Wren.
Even though I'm not the greatest fan of fight scenes,I have to say,Walker's struggle with the Four Horsemen is one of the greatest fight scene's in all literature.It's up there with the Fellowship of the Ring's struggle in Moria,with Risca's battle with the Northland Army,with the spectacular Dave Duncan scenes,with all those scenes in Dragonlance.It's truly the most exciting part in the book.
I was glad to see that Morgan finally got his girl.After his devastating experience with Quickening,it was nice to see him happy.
The Sword of Shannara has been found,the Elves have returned,Walker has become a Druid,all the tasks which Allanon commanded to the Scions of Shannara have been completed.Now Rimmer Dall,leader of the Shadowen plans a fate for each of them.He sets his army against Wren,he sends the Four Horsemen against Walker,and to Par,to Par he sends a fate of terror beyond imagining......................

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastically written and concluded Jan 28 2003
By "mheile1"
Format:School & Library Binding
This book is a non-stop thrill ride. Terry Brooks shifts back and forth from one part of the tale to the next. There is no pause, no down time and no hesitation.

This tale is fantastically woven to conclude the previous three books. Each sub plot intersects perfectly with the others until finally all loose ends are resolved.

This series vastly outclasses the original Shannara stories.

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite book
Terry Brooks is my favorite author because, of the authors that I've read, he seems to have the most evil-seeming antagonists. Read more
