This book has to be my all time favorite of Terry's. It covers the main adventures of Walker Boh, and how he must recover the black elfstone. It's brilliantly written, with memorable characters, such as Pe Ell and Quickening, and a great storyline that keeps you on the edge of your seat. So go Read

I liked Terry Brooks mainly because of the mystical and magical feeling of his world. I probably would not like him if I stumbled upon his books today.

The second book in the Heritage series, featuring Walker Boh. This book takes a bit of a strange turn, continuing the exploration of the Four Lands into even stranger areas. A

Terry Brooks follows the same pattern in each episode of a series. He takes up to 100 pages to get in motion, explain all the characters, relationships and history. If you manage that far, you're in for one heck of a read.

Continues the story of the children of Shannara. This is all about Walker Boh's quest to find the black elfstone and to restore Paranor. We are introduced to a new character, Quickening. The ending was semi-predictable, but it was interesting.

As always, Terry Brooks paints a great picture, even though this picture was mostly of a stone city and the travel to it. The characters are well developed, though I'd expect nothing less. I enjoyed Quickening and Walker Boh the most this time around, though Pe Ell was a very interesting character,
