Description During Books The Elf Queen of Shannara (Heritage of Shannara #3)

"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: "Beward, 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?

Weigh Up Containing Books The Elf Queen of Shannara (Heritage of Shannara #3)

*4.5/5 Stars*I really enjoyed this one. It has you gripped from the moment Wren enters Morrowindl. I think I prefer this one to the others, but then that just might be because it's been months since I read the second book of this series. I also like how this one ties much better with the rest of the Heritage series - from what I remember, the second one had its own completely new story, whereas this one tied in with the Demons on Morrowindl and the Shadowen in the Four Lands.I've missed this

As derivative as it was, I really enjoyed The Sword of Shannara, and its less clichéd sequel The Elfstones of Shannara was also great. Kind of kept me reading at that stage of my life. Maybe I had outgrown Brooks by the time I read this one as it didn't resonate nearly as strongly with me. The other reviews here are quite celebratory, I was more at the other end of the spectrum. I didn't loathe it, but I certainly felt it was just an 'OK' read.

I've been very impressed with the direction of the series and even though I've enjoyed the fact that each book before followed a different set of Ohmsford's it was nice to have this run follow the same set of characters. I love each of them equally and Wren is a great addition to the Ohmsford's as well as a much needed strong female character. Excited for the conclusion of this part of the books and to see where Brooks takes the next set.

I've been reading all of the Shannara books in order, and up until this one, they have been getting better and better. Not so with The Elf Queen of Shannara. For some reason that I can't quite put my finger on, this book just didn't pull me in the same way the others did. I think this mostly stems from the heroine's frustrating mental battles with her identity and purpose/fate. Wren Ohmsford just never really came to life for me as the other Shannara children have, with her constant self-pity

I really wanted to like this one, since I liked the first three books very much. However, the second set started out weak and by the time I got to Elf Queen, I had the distinct impression that Terry Brooks was as eager to get it over with as I was. I saw none of the care he took in Sword, Elfstones, or Wishsong, and felt he took too much time with trivial details and not enough time in making me believe the characters. A huge disappointment for me.

Best in the cycle up to this point, probably my favorite Shannara book yet. Lots of continuous action, good dramatic tension, nice character development. And Wren is cool.

Book #16/29 on my Epic Shannara Quest.This is one of those books that tells a similar story that has already been told (though to be fair, this one was published first). The story of the Loden Elfstone and how it once saved the Elves was also related in The Elves of Cintra, which was book #5 in my quest due to it's chronological placement in the Shannara series. For me, the best parts of this book dealt with Par Ohmsford and Walker Boh (and they came in the last quarter of the book.) The main
