Reseñas de la Crítica

"If Harry Potter has given you a thirst for fantasy and you have not discovered the magic of Terry Brooks, you are in for a treat." ( Rocky Mountain News)

"If you were delighted and entranced by Michael Ende's The Never Ending Story, you will definitely want to sample one of more of Terry Brooks's books." ( Santa Cruz Sentinel)

Pretty Good

Great performance from John Lee, however the story is decent. Like some have said before, this story felt like filler content. I never really felt the urge to continue listening after the breaks I took from the story. The only reason I continued through this book was to get to the next one. The characters that were specific to this book were ok. None felt memorable or very impactful. This story could have been played out much better, but unfortunately the majority of the story was predictable.

the Contnuing Tale of the Shannara descendants

I really enjoyed this 2nd book in the tale that is about the adventures and trials of the Shannara descendants from the original trilogy. This volume is a good read - one that I couldn't put down.

Classic

One of my all time favorites. Terry Brooks almost never disappoints. And this one is one of his best.

Terry Brooks and John Lee: Great for Shannara!

I am thoroughly enjoying Shannara by Brooks, as read by John Lee. Great Audible Experience!

How can these books, get "better and better"?

😃
I've even gotten used to John Lee's "ups-and-downs"... lol...
And now, I just HAVE TO , buy the third book.
Now...
Now...
Immediately!
🤩

Classic epic continues

Great, yes. Dated, a bit. For example, this one has a bit of a gender bias, but the next book compensates.

For me, I feel this novel and its corpus mark a clear contrast to the brevity of style that marks the works specifically aimed at the younger end of the YA audience. This book is totally suitable for younger readers in content and theme, but I think its wordiness and lengthy interior monologs might be less engaging. It does not read like Tolkien and I would recommend that youngest readers become enamored with Middle Earth first.

Great story

I remember reading this what it was first published. Now I revisited as an audiobook, and I really enjoyed the performance.

does not disappoint

This book is an excellent continuation of the Shannara Chronicles. And no one could narrate it better than John Lee.

It's Slow!

This is the slowest book I've read in the series so far. Overall it was not a fun book for me.

The Druid of Shannara (Audible)

Great world. Terry Brooks does a good job of building characters. They are relatable and dynamic. The narrator has an interesting voice. He brings the story to life. The story flows well. I look forward to the next book in the series.
