Wishsong of Shannara
Wishsong of Shannara | Terry Brooks
7 posts | 50 read | 20 to read
ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR FANTASY TALES OF ALL TIME. SOON TO BE AN EPIC NEW SERIES FROM MTV. An ancient evil is stirring, intent on the complete destruction of all life. The Druid Allanon sets out on a dangerous journey to save the world, reluctantly aided by Brin Ohmsford, daughter of Wil Ohmsford for she alone holds the magic power of the wishsong. But a prophecy foretells doom, as evil nurses its plan to trap the unsuspecting Brin into a fate far more horrible than death. Praise for Terry Brooks Shannara was one of my favorite fictional worlds growing up, and I look forward to many return trips. Karen Russell, author of "Swamplandia!" If Tolkien is the grandfather of modern fantasy, Terry Brooks is its favorite uncle. Peter V. Brett, author of "The Skull Throne" "" A great storyteller, Terry Brooks creates rich epics filled with mystery, magic, and memorable characters. Christopher Paolini, author of "Eragon""

This whole series was pretty meh. It was good enough that I didn't think it deserved to be bailed on, but found it difficult to get motivated enough to read it for more than one or two chapters at a time. I was often frustrated by the characters, who would regularly do stupid things without much reason to do so. Even the "smart" characters often did things that made no sense and lacked foresight. Unclear how this became a "best seller".

I'm nearly done with this lovely read 💕 I was very disappointed to hear that the author is delaying the release of the final book in the series (though I understand why), but on the bright side, it gives me much more time to re-read the whole series before the last book is out!

A Saturday afternoon calls for a good book (and a cozy blanket) 📚

“We are friends, Brin, and friends do for each other what they see needs to be done...Friendship is a thing sensed inwardly as much as a thing pledged openly. One feels friendship and becomes bound by it...We are to be friends, all of us, and if we are to be friends, then we must #share both good and bad in our friendship. Your needs become mine.” #QuotsyDec18

This publisher in my country is publishing lots of old series in this new format.
This is the entire Shannara cycle

She...could affect the behavior of living things with her song..She could soothe an angry dog. She could bring a wild bird to light on her wrist. She could make herself a part of any living thing—or make it a part of her...She would sing, the music and the words...unplanned, unrehearsed...always aware...yet at the same time heedless...caught up in feelings of indescribable sensation...making her somehow new again, and the #wish would come to pass.

TK-421 Sorry for all the ellipses! It was a long passage so I had to leave some out to get the character count down #QuotsyMarch18 6y
