Relation Concering Books The Talismans of Shannara (Heritage of Shannara #4)
At this point, I think I might be done with the Shannara books. Not the MTV series, not by a long shot - and certainly not after that cliffhanger! But as for the books, I think I either need to give up now or just take a long break, because they're burning me out at this point. I feel like they're just too more-of-the-same, and they're really not bringing anything new to the table, not like the ways the show gets a little more inventive and incorporates the post-apocalyptic setting much more strongly. Like I said, though, maybe I'll come back to this someday.

Allanon's demands are being met: Walker Boh struggles to fulfill the return of Paranor to the Four Lands, Wren fights to repurpose the elves, and Par Ohmsford has possibly found the legendary Sword of Shannara. It is still unclear how these accomplishments are to mesh into a strategy to fight the Federation and the Shadowen. As their enemies use their strength and guile against them it seems that they are becoming their own worst enemies as they fight against self-betrayal and the powers ofIt seems like in each book I read, Terry Brook's writing gets better. The descriptions are less repetitive and more evocative. The characters do seem to go round and round in their anxieties and ambivalence about who they are, what they're doing and who to trust, but then don't we all? Each time it doesn't seem like they're exactly at the same place. They do learn and grow - so all in all I'm very happy with this book. I need a little r & r from the intensity - so I'm going to read Terry
1993. A twelve year old me walks alone into the library a block away from my parents photography studio where i spent most childhood afternoons. I am met by what to this day remains the most amazing book cover I have ever seen in the display case of new releases. The Talismans of Shannara by Terry Brooks. The artwork is amazing, even the lettering suggests something truly fantastic inside. My imagination reels as my eyes pour over a thousand heavy metal album covers condensed into a solitary
The Talismans of Shannara, by Terry Brooks, is the fourth and final book in The Heritage of Shannara quartet of novels. All of the threads of the previous three novels are now coming to fruition, as the Elves lead by Wren Ohmsford Elessedil, the Druids resurrected by Walker Boh, and the Sword of Shannara, found by Par Ohmsford, are all converging on a final battle with the Shadowen-controlled Federation.Of course, this is not even the most critical factor in the heroes' success. That distinction
I read this when I was 13 or 14 years old... it was pure escapism, especially for an awkward teen who could not interact with the world very well. I was very drawn to the characters which I immediately connected with... The emotional investment that the plot required of the reader gave one amazing highs and lows and drew you further into the adventure... What a great and imaginative writer, thanks Terry Brooks...

Well, it seems like everything got wrapped up - but man did it happen in one big epic crazy scene - or two. The war between Shadowen and the heirs of Shannara is being fought on two (sort of three) fronts. Are you confused yet? There is a ton going on here - and I mean a ton!!! While very exciting and full of action - it might have been nice if it was a little more spread out. We jump from strategy and hiking across the land to super fast paced action battle scene. While this is probably very
