Publisher's summary

Fans of the Shannara epic will revel as the forces of good battle an evil book, the Ildatch, which sends the Mord Wraiths to destroy mankind. To overcome this dark force, the Druid Allanon needs Brin Ohmsford, for she holds the power of the wishsong, a magic invoked by singing that can make plants bloom instantly or turn trees from green to autumn gold.

As Brin reluctantly joins Allanon on his dangerous journey, a prophecy foretells an evil plan to trap the unsuspecting Brin into a fate more horrible than death. But she has the help of her brother, Jair, and the protection of Rone Leah, who takes his job very seriously, as the comic rustics, Weapons Master Garet Jax and Slanter the gnome, leaven the fantasy.

Good not great

Very good. Liked earlier books better. Liked the many twists. At times seemed very verbose. Still liked it very much. Performance was exceptional.

A good read

A bit out of my typical genre but still a good book overall. Long series are always welcome so you don’t have to go looking for new books!

liked the narrator

The story line was good, a little ponderous at times. The narrator did a good job, wad ankle to differentiate the characters.

Truly enjoyed

I truly enjoyed listening to this reading. I read the print version several years ago, but the audio version added an additional dimension to it which I enjoyed.
