Synopsis

ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR FANTASY TALES OF ALL TIME. NOW AN EPIC TV SERIES.
 
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.

3.7 stars! I enjoyed this book, although there are a few aspects that I didn't like. The Wishsong of Shannara follows Brin Ohmsford and Allanon as the go on a journey to save the world from a dark magic.

Goodreads review by Chris on August 04, 2016

The best of the original trilogy. Unpredictable, good characters and action all the way. Had me hooked from the start.

This is Terry Brooks' true masterpiece in my eyes, and still my personal favourite in the Shannara series.

It started out quite weak......more

Con la tristezza che segna sempre il passaggio da un’epoca a un’altra, anche se in realtà di generazioni ne abbiamo viste susseguirsi diverse in questi libri, partendo da Shea e Flick Ohmsford, della stirpe di Jerle Shannara, passando per......more
