This wasn't a bad series, but this book seemed to wrap it up too neatly and easily. Once again, the Elves, Druid and Ohmsfords must again save the Four Lands from evil, and as usual, only the Elves are really dependable. Its a very familiar formula for Brooks. Its done well and is still good reading, but there's really not much new in this book that hasn't been done before in his earlier books. The Talismans of Shannara by Terry Brooks is the fourth (4th) and final book in the series, The Heritage of Shannara. Once again, Brooks brings alive the magic of Shannara in this fine series. The series has some drawbacks. Brooks draws from the History of his first Shannara series which sometimes confuses the reader due to the characters mentioned. The book also wraps up the story too quickly for my taste. The first three books move along at a delightful pace, each one dealing with a particular quest, while still moving the entire plot along in chronological fashion. However, in this final book, there is too much to deal with for the action to take place within its pages. This leaves this reader with a sour taste of having everything finished just when it was getting good. However, I look forward to the newer Shannara series from Brooks as I spent many enjoyable hours reading the Heritage of Shannara series. no reviews | add a review
