Description Supposing 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.

The Talismans of Shannara is the final conclusion of the four books series, the Heritage of Shannara. So that means that you kinda have to read the other ones too, and you also kind of have to read the original three book series, amounting to this being the seventh book. In this story, the charges of Allanon to the Ohmsfords have been fulfilled, and Par, Wren, Walker, Coll, Morgan, and friends must find a way to defeat Rimmer Dall and rid the Four Lands of the Shadowen. The Elves findThe 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
A decent end to a decent series in Shannara. Nothing about Shannara thus far has been overwhelmingly exceptional but it is all a competent enough fairly straight forward Fantasy series. While that is not glowing praise, sometimes you just want a simple Fantasy with familiar tropes, young small town folk who end up wielding mystical powers and saving the earth from an overwhelming evil magic.I appreciate that unlike the first Shannara trilogy, the Heritage... Quadrology? Is that a word? follows
It 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
This is such an amazing series. The four Heritage of Shannara books follow the adventures of Wren, Par and Walker Boh. They are on a quest sent by the spirit of Allanon to save the Four Lands once more. On the way they learn how to come to grips with their magic and their destiny. They are helped by family and friends who are vital for the saving of their world.I really enjoyed this series. They are action packed, and well written. Terry Brooks has a wonderful way of describing the Four Lands
Wow! What a great wrap up to the Heritage series!Read by Rene Auberjonois, awesomely (of course).All the little seeds planted along the way pay off royally in this book. The only thing that would have made it perfect would have been if Wren played a part in the final battle.Great tension and conflict. I particularly love how talismans we are familiar with from the prior books are given new interpretations. Continued great treatment of the villain. Love that the women are battle-worn, showing
