The Talismans of Shannara

By: Terry Brooks

Narrated by: John Lee

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

The Shadowen still swarm over the Four Lands, poisoning everything with their dark magic. And their leader is determined to destroy all the Scions of Shannara. For Walker Boh, he dispatches the Four Horsemen. For Wren, he sends an untrue friend. And for Par, he devises the most terrible fate of all. With these traps cleverly laid, the charges given by the shade of the Druid Allanon are doomed to failure—unless Par can discover a way to harness the power of the Sword of Shannara.

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

Critic reviews

"If Harry Potter has given you a thirst for fantasy and you have not discovered the magic of Terry Brooks, you are in for a treat."
--Rocky Mountain News

"If you were delighted and entranced by Michael Ende's The Never Ending Story, you will definitely want to sample one of more of Terry Brooks's books."
--Santa Cruz Sentinel

Repetitive

The only issue I had with this book was it seemed as if 90 percent of the story was the characters taking turns being captured and rescued.
Overall the book had a great story line. But, like I said there was to much capture and rescue attemps.

Great listen

Entertaining listen, great narrative Terry brooks continues to keep me coming back for more shannara.

Awesome!!

This is an awesome ending to an amazing story that I can't recommend enough. It takes a little while to make it through all 4 books but the payoff is worth it.

good vs evil

characters never caught a break. constant negative impact. good ultimately prevails but at great cost
