The Malazan Empire simmers with discontent, bled dry by interminable warfare, bitter infighting, and bloody confrontations with ancient and implacable sorcerers. Even the imperial legions, long inured to the bloodshed, yearn for some respite. Yet Empress Laseen’s rule remains absolute, enforced by her dreaded Claw assassins. For Sergeant Whiskeyjack and his squad of Bridgeburners, and for Tattersail, their lone surviving mage, the aftermath of the siege of Pale should have been a time to mourn the many dead. But Darujhistan, last of the Free Cities, yet holds out.

When the dust settled, we went on with our lives as though nothing had happened. More than a decade later, five of the eggs hatched. The dragons that emerged were small and weak. They kept to the shadows, working in secret to persuade people to do their bidding, offering magic as payment and reward. Years passed...and still we didn't notice the evil growing in our midst.

A slightly predictable plot but a great romp though a Tolkien like world. Good character development and concepts.

A Lord of the Rings clone.
I struggled to finish this audio book. The story copies far too many elements from Lord of the Rings. The narration is over exaggerated and very hard work to keep listening too. This has put me off trying the rest of the series.

Lord of the rings by Terry Brooks
OK, we've all heard it before! Yes there are so many similarities between the two stories, but it's the differences that makes Shannara a series worth reading. So once you get past the sword the world opens before you in its wonder. To ignore this book because of the views of others is to miss a necessary introduction to the magic of Shannara and an ongoing saga of epic proportions! On first reading the Sword of Shannara decades ago I almost left it but after deciding to continue on through the trilogy I was glad of this first glimpse at these characters. So dont let anything put you off what is a good clear reading of a book deserving of the 20+ hours needed and I promise you will not regret it.

Honest feedback
A really well read audio book - given its one person reading, you still get the flavour of all the characters - one of terry Brooks’s earlier books and if I’m honest, I always feel this chapter of the world needed more exploration- still well worth the credit and perfect for insomniacs

Gave up after chapter 6
Oh dear, recommended by a friend as I have exhausted everything by Brandon Sanderson. Plodding and endlessly dull where every major decision is summed up in one line without having the characters actually discussing or interacting.
E.g. "They conferred briefly to decide what direction it would be best to take now"
The narration is particularly hard to listen to, each sentence with a strange uplift at the end with no variance in voice for each of the characters, making it very hard to distinguish between the trio of characters. You get the impression the narrator is reading the book for the first time themselves.
I'll continue on with the book to give it a fair chance but will be returning the audiobook

it was a good book but too much like LOTR. I listened to it while I was at work so I may have missed sections. The theme was so much like LOTR it was a bit disappointing, but I did get into it and want to finish it.

"Inspired" by Tolkien...
A decent story, BUT but if you have read The Lord of Rings, don't bother reading this. The rest of the series might be different, but this is effective The Lord of Rings with all of the names having been replaced, some of the characters roles reversed or switched and the order of the storyline reshuffled in places. It's not a exact copy, but to say it was just inspired by Tolkien's work is a bit of a stretch. If you haven't read Lord of the Rings, just read that as it's much better.

Very different from TV Series but still very enjoyable
Different story line from the TV Series.
Some predictable some fascinating.
Fun all along! Perhaps the tv Series is after this story?

Sounds familiar
Seems like I've read this before... A band of heroes (of multiple races I might add) seeking a ancient relic that has the power to destroy an evil warlock (sound familiar yet???) while being chased by the warlocks powerful henchmen.
All in all its not a bad story at all its just too similar to LoTR to bother with.
Scott Brick doesn't make the story any more appealing offering only two different styles of voice, pathetic and weak for all of the non-warrior characters and deep and gruff for the stronger more "manly" characters. Found it hard to differentiate between half of the non-warrior characters because of their annoying high pitched whiney British accents...
In summary, don't waste your time with this poorly voiced LoTR ripoff.
