I still have questions as to what happened to Jair after the Dark Wraith graphic novel but I'm hoping I'll find out soon.

This is one of my husband's favorite series and he wanted to read it to me. I don't think I would have picked it up on my own. It was a fun adventure but it felt like a really long introduction to the rest of the series. I am interested to find out what happens next.

As with the previous three volumes, I feel like Brooks spends too much time in the first half of the book just telling us things. It’s not until the midpoint that he begins to show and use dialog more effectively.

OK - I am officially finished with Shannara - I tried, I seriously did, but this is book four, and I cannot do it anymore - Terry Brooks is an intelligent man and a brilliant speaker, with wonderful ideas on story creation, but this is it - I hate the character Alanon so much, and even in death he comes around to anger me in these stories - I hit the 50% mark and NOTHING HAPPENED! - I cannot go on with the insistent ramblings and meandering story-lines that go absolutely no where but to travel, tell some history, travel, history, travel - ad nausium - I am finished - sorry, but no more Shannara for me.

The first book of high fantasy that I ever read and loved.
