The Measure of the Magic: Legends of Shannara

Not a bad listen, but don't expect this sophomoric conclusion to the Bear of the Black staff to be as good as it was. This is not within the top 50% of Terry Brooks' best works.

Phil Gigante does a great job.

Really love the whole series from the Sword til now. However, I was left wishing for more in this latest episode. Would have loved to learn more about the Ragpicker. Where was he during the time of the Hawk? This just seemed to gloss over each subplot during the story. Glad I listened, just not the best of the series.

Not as good as the first book (Bearers of the Black Staff) but a job well done in following up with the characters. Intrigued me enough to want to hear more about Shannara.

The, pace was a little slow, and I'm wondering if maybe the Shannara series has seen its better days

Yes, I'm sure I will after having read I think nearly everyone of his books

Sadly none, but not the performers fault

It needs a quick conclusion

I really like the series and hope that Mr. Brooks can breathe some new life into it.

Both this story and the bearer of the black staff are great stories. I loved the flow of the stories, the characters, and the plot development. I've read other reviews about these stories, and they criticize the storytelling, author, and his characters. If you have read all of the shannara series then you know Brook's style of writing, his characters growth and progression throughout the story, and basic storyline. Reading one of these books does not make you qualified to comment on terry brooks or his books. These two books are yet another wonderful start to another shannara series. Can't wait for the next book. Great job Mr. Brooks, you haven't lost any talent.

yes, keeps me interested, and on the edge of my seat

the first one

when they fight all sences

both

no

Yes, I like the story enough that I will re-listen again.

Terry often is very hard on the heroes and is very believable even though we all know the whole thing is pure fiction.

Great performance Prue and her partner. Gray man the main character was second.

Yes the battle with the Trolls. The bold move to save Prue from the Trolls camp, followed by the stand off at the fortress.

I enjoyed this story very much. Easy to be in Shannara. I like the charaters, they where well read and easy to see.

Couldn't put this one down. Can't wait until the next one in the series is released!

This book was a disappointment. The two books that formed the Legends of Shannara could have been edited down to form one book. Too much romance and very little action or character development. SPOILER: The character that seemed to have grown the most and would have been interesting to watch in future novels was killed at the end of the book.
