Lifelong friends, they went their separate ways. Now they are together again, though each holds secrets from the others in his heart. They speak of a world shadowed with rumors of war. They speak of tales of strange monsters, creatures of myth, creatures of legend. They do not speak of their secrets. Not then. Not until a chance encounter with a beautiful, sorrowful woman, who bears a magical crystal staff, draws the companions deeper into the shadows, forever changing their lives and shaping the fate of the world.

At 19, Auris Afton Grieg has led an...unusual life. Since the age of 14, she has been trapped in a Goblin prison. Why? She does not know. She has no memories of her past beyond the vaguest of impressions. All she knows is that she is about to age out of the children’s prison, and rumors say that the adult version is far, far worse. So she and some friends stage a desperate escape into the surrounding wastelands. And it is here that Auris’ journey of discovery begins, for she is rescued by a handsome yet alien stranger.

Fearing the worst, the High Druid dispatches a diplomatic party under the protection of the order’s sworn guardian, Dar Leah, to confront the mysterious, encroaching force and discover its purpose.

Yet Par still has some power of the Wishsong. A message from Allanon arrives: venture to the dread Hadeshorn, along with the other Scions of Shannara. For in the future, all life in the Four Lands will be destroyed. To prevent this terrible fate, Allanon commands Par to recover the long-lost Sword of Shannara, a task that is next to impossible.

Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

When the world was young, and its name was Faerie, the power of magic ruled - and the Elfstones warded the race of Elves and their lands, keeping evil at bay. But when an Elven girl fell hopelessly in love with a Darkling boy of the Void, he carried away more than her heart. Thousands of years later, tumultuous times are upon the world now known as the Four Lands. Users of magic are in conflict with proponents of science. Elves have distanced their society from the other races. The Druid order is threatened.

It has been 20 years since the end of the war. The dictatorial Augurs, once thought of almost as gods, were overthrown and wiped out during the conflict, their much-feared powers mysteriously failing them. Those who had ruled under them, men and women with a lesser ability known as the Gift, avoided the Augurs' fate only by submitting themselves to the rebellion's Four Tenets.

You define life or it defines you. In Shawn Speakman’s case, it was both. Lacking health insurance and diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2011, Shawn quickly accrued a massive medical debt that he did not have the ability to pay. That’s when New York Times best-selling author Terry Brooks offered to donate a short story that Shawn could sell to help alleviate those bills—and suggested he ask the same of his other writer friends. Unfettered is the result: An anthology built in order to relieve that debt, featuring short stories by some of the best fantasy writers in the genre.

Resumen del Editor
The Sword of Shannara is the first volume of the classic series that has become one of the most popular fantasy tales of all time.
Long ago, the wars of the ancient Evil ruined the world. In peaceful Shady Vale, half-elfin Shea Ohmsford knows little of such troubles. But the supposedly dead Warlock Lord is plotting to destroy everything in his wake.
The sole weapon against this Power of Darkness is the Sword of Shannara, which can be used only by a true heir of Shannara. On Shea, last of the bloodline, rests the hope of all the races.
Thus begins the enthralling Shannara epic, a spellbinding tale of adventure, magic, and myth....

The assassination of heroes was once a warning... for an invasion that nearly destroyed the world. Nations were slaughtered, cities were erased from existence, and defending armies were crushed into oblivion. In weeks, all life stood on the verge of extinction. But the end did not come. Instead the black horde vanished, leaving terrified survivors... and rumors. As the centuries passed the holocaust faded into legend, and finally myth. Across the southern sea a gifted young man is completing his training.

Gen was a bard's apprentice, his nimble hands meant for the lute and his voice for a song. Then the half-mad and completely bored Shadan Khairn invaded Gen's village to winter there and start a war. He shoved a sword in Gen's hands and tormented his body, shaping a bard into a warrior to be killed for sport. As the days of torture pile up like the snow, Gen searches for death. But the day is at hand when the shattered shards of the world will knit together again, and the world's slain god will be reborn.

Thus begins the voyage of the Jerle Shannara in a race to uncover the mystery, which of course includes an unusual cast of characters.

Wonderful!
This is a classic. I'm so pleased its been released at last in unabridged format: When Flick Ohmsford and his brother Shea are visited by the mysterious druid Allanon, their lives change for the worse, as they are hunted across the country by the minions of the evil arch druid and his skull-bearing horde of undead.
While many of the elements in this first book in particular, remind me a bit of Tolkein's classic work, the books have plenty of fun characters. I also really liked the narrator's voice. He did an excellent job! A++++

fellowship of the sword
while listening, i couldn't stop thinking of lord of the rings. the first half of the book looks like fellowship of the ring, and the second half like the two towers and the return of the king... all in all... a good book, but doesn't seem a new story

Not really suited for audio format
What did you like best about The Sword of Shannara? What did you like least?
I enjoyed the scope of the world, and the ambiguity of how magic works the most in this book. What kept me from enjoying the story fully was how glacial and repetitive the writing became.
Would you ever listen to anything by Terry Brooks again?
I doubt that I will listen to more written by Terry Brooks. The Scott Brick deserves so much credit for turning something cumbersome and slow into a tolerable read.
What does Scott Brick bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Brick's ability to convey the range of emotion needed to connect with some of the characters was vital to making this read through possible.
Any additional comments?
I believe that this is Terry Brooks' first published novel, and unfortunately it shows. The plot moves at a snail's pace, and also suffered from unnecessary repetitions of both character situation and character exposition. By the end of the novel, I was at a point where I could no longer take the seemingly endless repetitions, and skipped forward in the performance. I resumed play mid-conclusion and I didn't care enough about how the fight between protagonist and antagonist began to rewind the audio for fear of more of the dreaded repetition. Brick's performance was incredibly solid throughout the story, and it was the only thing that kept me invested in the book past the second chapter. When I read this book for the first time 20 years ago, I remember it as an epic fantasy that pulled me along like a fallen leaf on a stream. Unfortunately, time has changed my taste in fiction and writing style.

very boring
author had so many deus ex machina that there's no way the story could have been saved without them. so much exposition that wasn't necessary we could have been told through one of the characters. the authors reading was so monotone I would frequently lose interest in the story and have to rewind it

Not very original
I have to say that I am really surprised.
Being such a well known series/author I expected the story to have original characters and storyline. unfortunately this is just a rip off of Lord of the Ring.

Meh...
This books is filled with adverbs and over-writing. It lacks nuance in action and emotion. Everything is written to the superfluous even if it a simple thing.
There is no real story. It focuses on going from one battle to the next in one cliche setting to another.
it isn'thorrible thanks to the performance.
I will not be continuing the series. I don't care about the characters or the world. It was never developed.

Painful
One of the few books that could benefit from being a bridge or at least having a good editor most of my concerns have already been mentioned - but I have to add my support to the complaints about the endless pondering, reminiscences, and extended description that add nothing to the story not to mention every noun having at least one adjective - All this led to a story that moved at a snails pace And given that the story was predictable, no surprises here it feels kind of like a term paper where the author didn’t have that much to say but had to meet a word count requirement so added a lot of filler material

Decent fantasy story, but it drones on and on
Keeping in mind the book was written in the 70s, and that many things I've read since this initial publication has taken its liberties from this and other similar books, I give it a pass.
The storytelling is very bogged down with too much description and not enough substance. I can't remember how many times I rolled my eyes saying to myself, "get on with our already!"
I compare it to someone who has a great idea for a story, but when they finish writing it, they are short about 10,000 words. Instead of writing more material, they go back and fill out paragraph after paragraph with extra words and sentences to describe again everything we already know because it was already explained three times before. But just incase you missed it, let me tell you again.

A Hasty Click
When I first saw the rating people were giving this book I was confused and a little upset (and down right angry that some reviews were accussing a good author of plagurizm). As a teenager this was my favorite book to read. Based on what I remebered from my readings I immediately clicked 5 stars as my rating.
Then I downloaded and listened to the book.The narrattor is awful,
he has no range for characters,making them all sound alike, and his voice is very bland. Also as the book went along I started to notice some of the similarities to Lord of the Rings that I never would have picked out reading the book. Another thing that really started to annoy me was how wordy every little action had to be, and alot of it was nonsense. It was really annoying when the author would have a character thinking something that he couldn't possibly know and then having the narrator accent it in an manner that makes you want to throttle him.
I don't think the book would be a bad listen if there was a narrattor like Roy De'trice from A song of Ice and Fire books,but until that happens I wouldn't suggest this listen to anyone.
