Fantasy. Fiction. Science Fiction. Thriller. HTML:â??The action is fast and furious . . . A fitting conclusion to one trilogy and a promising taking-off point for another.â?ťâ??Booklist

Harrowing confrontations with the merciless Ilse Witch and the monstrous Antrax have taken their toll on the intrepid heroes aboard the airship Jerle Shannara. But their darkest adversary now snaps at their heels, in the form of the Morgawrâ??feeder upon the souls of his enemies and centuries-old sorcerer of unimaginable might with a fleet of airships and a crew of walking dead men at his command. The Morgawrâ??s goal is twofold: find and control the fabled ancient books of magic and destroy the dark disciple who betrayed himâ??the Ilse Witch. Now at the mercy of those who seek vengeance against her, the Ilse Witchâ??s only protector is her long-lost brother, Bek Ohmsford, who is determined to redeem his beloved sister . . . and to fulfill her destiny.

After having thoroughly enjoyed the first two novels in the Jerle Shannara series, my expectations were quite high for this novel. Perhaps it was those high expectations that I had that led to this novel being somewhat of a disappointment. There wasn’t any one specific thing that I can point to that led me to this conclusion, other than perhaps it just wasn’t as good as either of the first two novels. The biggest flaws that I can point to is that certain points of the novel (somewhere around the middle) felt very repetitive. Also, in general, I thought this novel was fairly predictable. Whereas, other big characters were fair game to get killed off in the previous novels, in this one, the author seemed very reticent to kill off any protagonist of any consequence.

I don’t want to sound overly negative. At its heart, this was a fun epic fantasy adventure. Terry Brooks is a very accomplished and professional author and that was demonstrated here. I’m not even sure that my criticisms are fully warranted, but I came away just a bit like “Meh” from the Emoji Movie. In general, the last volume of a series has a tendency to disappoint, and although this was a solid effort and fairly enjoyable, it did not wow me. So, if you’ve read the previous two novels, you will certainly want to read this one as well, but it may not meet all of your expectations.

The end of this book felt... unfinished, especially where Ahren and the Elfstones are concerned. This is unusual in my experience of Terry Brooks. I'm anxious to read the next series and see if any of my lingering questions are answered. ( )

satisfactory ending while making a good stepping stone for the continuation of the Shannara storyline ( )

This is the third and last book in The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara trilogy. The Morgawr has realised that the Ilse Witch has betrayed him and he sets off to destroy her and anyone else who gets in his way. The dwindling party that set off with Walker, the druid, fight to stay alive and get home to The Four Lands.

This is a great end to the trilogy. It is packed with fast paced adventure as you would expect. ( )
