Publisher's summary

Now in a new unabridged audio edition, read by Raphael Corkhill

“The action is fast and furious.... A fitting conclusion to one trilogy and a promising taking-off point for another.” (Booklist)

Harrowing confrontations with the merciless Ilse Witch and the monstrous Antrax have taken their toll on the intrepid heroes aboard the airship Jerle Shannara. But their darkest adversary now snaps at their heels, in the form of the Morgawr - feeder upon the souls of his enemies and centuries-old sorcerer of unimaginable might with a fleet of airships and a crew of walking dead men at his command. The Morgawr’s goal is twofold: Find and control the fabled ancient books of magic, and destroy the dark disciple who betrayed him - the Ilse Witch. Now at the mercy of those who seek vengeance against her, the Ilse Witch’s only protector is her long-lost brother, Bek Ohmsford, who is determined to redeem his beloved sister...and to fulfill her destiny.

... finally it's over.

look I've been a Terry Brooks fan since the beginning.. since high school and I have read every single book. this was one of his weaker series. he always has a fantastic start.. first book was excellent.. the second book was okay.. and the third book you're just kind of wanting things to wrap up the way that you know they will. I would say about 70% of this book was kind of aggravating talk that didn't really lead to much and the other 30% was pretty decent. the ending is satisfying so that's good. the narration is great just like in the prior two books. I personally think the High Druid of Shannara which is the next series is stronger as well as Terry's final Series in the Shannara realm that he came out with the fall of Shannara. but this is a good stop to get more of the history of Grianne as that comes into play later.

easily the best in the trilogy

This book doesn't suffer from some of the most egregious timeline issues that the previous two did, mostly because the characters are in the same place more frequently, so there's less opportunity for weird confusion about how long things take.

A successful conclusion to the story arc. I hate what happened to Walker in this trilogy, but I like that it matters. There are a couple of small threads left hanging, but that's not a bad thing.

So good!

Very nice spin on the Shannara series. I look forward to the next bit. Never disappointed.

Good listen

Read well. Easy to listen to. Really enjoyed his voice.

Epic series

Terry brooks is the absolute best. This series is my all-time favorite. A must read

Morgawr

The Morgawr, is the perfect ending to this stunning to this epic trilogy. Raphael Corkhill brings it to life with amazing narration. I read this years ago, and this trilogy is definitely my favorite Shannara.

exceptional

all 3 books in the series is worth the buy and and definitely worth a second and third re read

love the story. not as big a fan of the reader

The story is what I'd expect from Terry Brooks. The main issue I have with this is the narrator. He takes a lot of unnecessary pauses and you can hear him take a breath with each line.

overused

Terry Brooks is really good at overusing phrases and words. In the last set of books everybody's face was all planes and angles. In this set of books everything is from horizon to horizon. he uses that phrase about 50 f****** times throughout the trilogy. And hes really good at ripping off other writers
