Once again Allanon, Druid Protector of the Races, must seek the help of a descendant of the Elven King, Jerle Shannara. It sends its foul Mord Wraiths to make war on all living things and bring about, at last, Mankind's destruction. The Ildatch, ancient source of evil, has stirred to life. Book excerpt: Horror stalks the Four Lands. This book was released on with total page 576 pages. Overall, I think most bad reviews come from putting Shannara Chronicles on the wrong shelf, as for simple fantasy which is meant to entertain, it is a very good show.Book Synopsis The Wishsong Of Shannara by : Terry BrooksÄownload or read book The Wishsong Of Shannara written by Terry Brooks and published by Hachette UK. It convinced me to read the books upon which the series is based. The world portrayed in the series is interesting, it's not a typical fantasy setting, but a world that arose on the ruins and ashes of our world, with riuns scattering the landscape and remnants of an old technology here and there. Actors are mostly young so you won't probably see some tremendous acting in Shannara Chronicles, but James Remar stands out greatly among them, his Cephelo is tremendously played character, even if he's a cliche of a rogue. The characters are also rather typical for the genre, mostly black & white with an interesting shades of grey in the middle (like Eritrea) that stir things a bit. So I was not at all dissapointed by plotline. Well, I don't expect multi-layer plot in heroic fantasy like Lord of the Rings or many other movies that belong to this genre, this is just not a place for it. I saw people laughing at the simplicity of a plotline. The plot is simple and pretty much linear: there is a bad guy, there is a need to perform a quest to defeat him and there are twists and obstacles in the way that have to be overcomed to achieve the goal. And it delivers quite exactly what it promises. This is a simple, entertaining fantasy series and it should be in my opinion reviewed and rated based on what it tries to be. On the contrary, I've enjoyed this series greatly. Before I started wacthing this, I saw a lot of negative reviews, so I was expecting a poor show, but since I like fantasy genre, I've decided to give it a try and can't say I'm dissapointed.
