He ignores every wise and ancient being that tries to warn him not to follow through with his foolish desires. To add insult to injury, every character that accompanies Railing tells him at the end that nothing is his fault. At the end of the third book they\’re still whining about the stuff they were whining about early on in the first book. Overall, the book and the entire series are about weak, stupid, and whiny characters who never learn and grow as people. Let\’s waste all the effort we made throughout the entire series. It was awful, especially at the end (spoiler alert if needed) where they give the Elfstones to a demon character to hold for safekeeping. At any and every given moment, ask yourself, \’what is the dumbest thing I could possibly do in this situation,\’ and that is what each and every character will do. The entire series is a tale about the most stupid characters I\’ve ever seen. The cost of the book went up, while the quality went down. I\’d like to be kind about this book because I loved Terry\’s earlier work, but I also feel the need to be honest, and this was the worst work I\’ve ever seen from him or any traditionally published author. Review #2 Witch Wraith (The Dark Legacy of Shannara #3) audiobook streamming online The tension was so strong and constant, that Id need to step away for a bit. My only complaint is that this reader suffered tension fatigue while reading the book. All of this plays out while Tael invades the Four Lands with his demon army. We get to watch Edinja Orle play her games, while spy inflicts havoc in the Elven royal court. Even the minor characters seem bigger in this book.



Aphen Elessedil starts off looking for her sister, Arling, who was taken by the Federation at the end of the last book and needs to take the seed to the Bloodfire. Reeding starts off as a captive of the Straken Lord, Tael Riverine, and ends up on an epic quest of his own. Railing is off an his search for his great aunt Grianne Ohmsford but finds what he wants isnt what he needs or gets. Strongly character driven, especially the Ohmsford twins. I was critical of the first two books, this one makes a comeback. While I understand many reviewers complaints that this book and series is a rehashing of an earlier Shannara book dealing with the Ellcys seed and the Bloodfire, it is in truth so much more. Note: it may be helpful to be familiar with the previous trilogy or not.
