Publisher's summary

The fourth volume of The Heritage of Shannara, which continues one of the most popular fantasy series of all time.

The Shadowmen still swarm over the Four Lands, poisoning everything with their dark magic. And their leader is determined to destroy all the Scions of Shannara. For Walker Boh, he dispatches the Four Horsemen. For Wren, he sends an untrue friend. And for Par, he devises the most terrible fate of all. With these traps cleverly laid, the charges given by the shade of the Druid Allanon are doomed to failure - unless Par can discover a way to harness the power of the Sword of Shannara.

Thus continues the enthralling Shannara epic, a spellbinding tale of adventure, magic, and myth....

Awesome!!

This is an awesome ending to an amazing story that I can't recommend enough. It takes a little while to make it through all 4 books but the payoff is worth it.

I'd give it six stars if I could!

An amazing story, epic in scope, but as close as a bedtime story. Listen to these amazing books, amazing author, amazing narrator!

Repetitive

The only issue I had with this book was it seemed as if 90 percent of the story was the characters taking turns being captured and rescued.
Overall the book had a great story line. But, like I said there was to much capture and rescue attemps.

Did not disappoint

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes

Who was your favorite character and why?

Elf Queen was my favorite as she showed strength but the book failed at giving her a happier ending then it could have

What does John Lee bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

As all good narration, he gives depth and understanding to the charterers

Any additional comments?

Lot of filler in the series that was plain boring in the description of scenery and the series could have been much more enjoyable without it and easily combined into three books

Unusual teamwork

The combination of forces will make for unusual bed mates. However, they make great fighting companions.
