The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara: Ilse Witch

De: Terry Brooks

Narrado por: Raphael Corkhill

NOW IN A NEW UNABRIDGED AUDIO EDITION, READ BY RAPHAEL CORKHILL

For more than twenty years, New York Times bestselling author Terry Brooks has proven himself one of the modern masters of fantasy, winning the hearts and minds of devoted readers around the world with his classic Shannara epic.

When a half-drowned elf is found floating in the seas of the Blue Divide, an old mystery resurfaces. Thirty years ago, an elven prince led an expedition in search of a legendary magic said to be more powerful than any in the world. Of all those who set out on that ill-fated voyage, not one has ever returned.

Until now.

The rescued elf carries a map covered with mysterious symbols–and Walker Boh, the last of the Druids, has the skill to decipher them. But someone else understands the map’s significance: the Ilse Witch, a ruthless young woman who wields a magic as potent as his own. She will stop at nothing to possess the map–and the magic it leads to.

Return to the world of beloved novelist Terry Brooks, where creatures drift up from the earth like mist, a hypnotic song can kill, a sword can cut through a veil of lies–and one man, the true heir of an ancient magic, must choose between betrayal and redemption.

Great story, great characters

As good a book as Brooks has written. #1 author for me. A plus is a really spectacular performance

Talk about memories

I’ve waited for this book to be released unabridged and it finally did. All three. And bought them right away. And I’m so glad I did. It had been almost 20 years since I read it and a lot of it I didn’t remember but enjoyed it like the first time. The narrator was superb. Hadn’t heard of him and was skeptical at first But the moment he started talking I was wishsonged into the book and its grip held me fast. I’m on the third book already. Just came back to review it. Terry of course did a great job with the story. I’m just glad to have it complete in my library.

Inventive use of various types of magic and modes of transportation

Some repetition of conversation which slowed the progression of the storyline. Characters were diverse and interesting.

Another great adventure by Terry Brooks

The narrator was awesome. I had to get used to the change from Scott Brick as a lot of other Brooks’ books were narrated.

The book itself was a wonderful change from the previous collection with shifting in technologies and understanding but with the constant discomfort and urgency. Starting the next one very soon.

narrator ok

Finally an unabridged version. narrator too scottish/irish brogue style for my taste. But not unpleasant. Hard for a new narrator to come in after Scott Brick and John Lee. Narration for previous volumes is amazing.

Worth the wait!

Wonderful! I've waited nearly ten years for an unabridged version and now it's here. Perfectly read by an excellent narrator. Whether this is your intro to the Shannara books or you're a long time fan this trilogy is one of the best Brooks has ever written.

this series is one of my all time favorites

a huge improvement over the previous audible version of this series and I can't wait to listen to the next book

Characters

Always a good read never anything to say bad other than wanting more which is why a just bought the second book

Really fun!

I really enjoy this first book and the trilogy as a whole. It's a great mesh of brooks's classic fantasy with a nee, fun adventure theme. definitely recommend for any Shannara fans or anyone at all that enjoys a story about exploring new lands.

waiting for a long time

I'm so happy that this series has been released unabridged.

brings back so many fond memories and characters. truls has been my gaming alias since I first read this series years ago in high school.
