Story
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.

The Four Lands are under siege. Wielding a magical ability virtually impossible to combat, mysterious invaders defeat the most fearsome Troll armies, then focus their savagery on the Druid order - and all hope seems lost. Eventually the invaders reveal a more human face, but understanding their motives in no way mitigates the brutality of their actions. Dar Leah, once the High Druid’s Blade, has crossed paths - and swords - with their ruthless leader before. So he knows that if any hope exists, it rests in the hands of the Druid Drisker Arc, now trapped inside vanished Paranor.

Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

So, DUDE, where's the next book?

Publisher's Summary
The third volume of The Heritage of Shannara, which continues one of the most popular fantasy series of all time
"Find the Elves and return them to the world of Men!" The shade of the Druid Allanon had ordered Wren.
It was clearly an impossible task. The Elves had been gone from the Westland for more than a hundred years. There was not even a trace of their former city of Arborlon left to mark their passing. No one in the Esterland knew of them - except, finally, the Addershag.
The blind old woman had given instructions to find a place on the coast of the Blue Divide, build a fire, and keep it burning for three days. "One will come for you."
Tiger Ty, the Wing Rider, had come on his giant Roc to carry Wren and her friend Garth to the only clear landing site on the island of Morrowindl, where, he said, the Elves might still exist, somewhere in the demon-haunted jungle.
Now she stood within that jungle, remembering the warning of the Addershag: "Beware, Elf-girl. I see danger ahead for you...and evil beyond imagining." It had proved all too true.
Wren stood with her single weapon of magic, listening as demons evil beyond all imagining gathered for attack. How long could she resist?
And if, by some miracle, she reached the Elves and could convince them to return, how could they possibly retrace her perilous path to reach the one safe place on the coast?

The best Shannara book?
I have read the first 7 (publication order) Shannara books plus the First King, and this is my favourite. Usually, I greatly enjoy Brooks' novels despite glaring weaknesses in his writing, but here, he does things well that he usually does badly. For example, Wren, Stresa, and to a lesser extent Garth are beautifully drawn characters. The moment of greatest pathos in the novel is pitched perfectly, and I am left moved by it rather than irritated by the melodrama. It's not perfect (Wren's moral dilemma, which is no dilemma at all, gets annoying after a while), and it needs to be read as part of the series to be really enjoyed, but I think that this is peak Terry Brooks. The narration is also excellent.

narration issues
i loved this book however, i felt it was narrated too quickly and was better listened to at 0.95 speed. for the story itself ,i felt that brooks spent too much time describing the scene and on the feelings of the characters leaving not much room for events and character development. overall still a great book but was tempted to skip ahead due to endless metaphors and repetition of thoughts.
