Resumen del Editor

A rebellious young heroine begins a voyage of self-discovery in the third novel of an epic fantasy series set in the world of Viridian Deep, from the legendary author of the Shannara saga.

Auris’s adoptive sister Char has always been the baby of the family—a position that grates on Char, especially when everyone insists on telling her exactly what to do and how to do it. But Char is certain that her headstrong, impulsive behavior, the quality her family sees as her greatest weakness, is actually her greatest strength: the willingness to instantly brave danger and leap to the rescue when anyone she loves is threatened.

Char knows she will never grow into the woman she was meant to be under her family’s loving but repressive eye, so a month before she turns fifteen, she runs away and joins a Human pirate crew in the warm southerly regions of her world. Then, three years into her pirate career, her captain—the man she is convinced she loves—is captured by the leaders of the slave trade he has been fighting. When Char leaps in to rescue him, she finds herself thrust into an adventure that will uncover secrets she never suspected about herself, one that will maybe, finally, teach her to look before she leaps.

Great listen

Was read perfectly with the occasional change of voice for certain characters. I thoroughly enjoyed it

Enjoyable

I am looking forward to more books to come out in this series. Twist and turns and depths of the characters is what Terry Brooks does best.

cringy

I have listened to Every Single Terry Brooks Books and this one was by far the most thoughtless story put together. Lack of imagery , the story seems written on the spot. But what gets me the most is that you think you "know" the characters because of previous books but when they return in this book they let you down. It was just to quickly put together. :(
I just cant get over the lack of imagery, i cant put images to characters and scenes because theres not alot of detail this time.

The struggle

I wasn't sure about this story at first but as it developed I realized that Char was trying to find out who she was as many young do. She didn't know where she came from being adopted. The story has her adventures but more about discovering her past and helping her friends. It is a wonderful and exciting tale. Heartbreaking at times but uplifting as well.

Just “eh”. Nothing special.

It was just “eh”, okay. Nothing special and by the end I just wanted it to be over so I could move onto a new book. Sadly disappointed in Terry Brooks with this series. It just lacked the gripping sense of wonder I was expecting. Some of the world was interested, but the spark just wasn’t there. This third book especially felt like a filler book that just checked some plot boxes.

Chick flik

I love terry brooks. but this one is a disappointment. i kept listening and hoping it would get better. it didnt.
i am afraid i will have to be careful and review his future books very carefully.

Nothing.

when did Terry start writing books for teenage girls? Very little excitement and a bunch of "I think I love him". The reader for some reason thought she should whisper the whole time. i will not read any more of this series. I have been an avid Terry Brooks fan for many years but this is not anything like he normally does.

Just couldn't get into it

I'm a huge fan of Terry Brooks and all his works but this fell a little short.
