Fantasy. Fiction. Science Fiction. Thriller. HTML:With his groundbreaking New York Times bestseller The Sword of Shannara and its acclaimed sequels, Terry Brooks brought a new audience to epic fantasy. Now that story of clashing forces of darkness and light, of Shannara??s beginnings and the human race??s possible end, marches forward into an unforgettable second volume full of mystery, magic, and momentous events.
Across the ruined landscape that is America??hopelessly poisoned, plague-ridden, burned, and besieged by demon armies bent on exterminating all mortal life??two pilgrims have been summoned to serve the embattled cause of good. Logan Tom has journeyed to desolate Seattle to protect a ragged band of street urchins and the being known as ??the gypsy morph,? who is both mortal and magical, and destined to save mankind unless he is destroyed. Likewise, Angel Perez has her own quest, one that will take her from the wreckage of Los Angeles to a distant, secret place untouched by the horrors of the nationwide blight??a place where the race of Elves has dwelled since before man existed. But close behind these lone Knights of the Word swarm the ravening forces of the Void.
As the menacing thunder of war drums heralds the arrival of the demons and their brutal minions in Seattle, the young survivors who call themselves the Ghosts are forced to brave the dangerous world of gangs, mutants, and worse to escape the invasion. And Logan Tom must infiltrate a refugee compound to rescue Hawk, the leader of the street urchins, who has yet to learn the truth about who and what he is. Meanwhile, Angel Perez has joined an equally urgent mission: to find the Ellcrys, a fabled talisman crucial to protecting the Elven realm against an influx of unspeakable evil from the dread dimension known as the Forbidding. But Angel and her Elf allies must beware??for a demon spy, with a monstrous creature at its command, walks among them.
As the legions of darkness draw the noose tighter, and the time of confrontation draws near, those chosen to defend the soul of the world must draw their battle lines and prepare to fight with, and for, their lives. If they fail, humanity falls.
BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Terry Brooks's The M

I enjoyed the expansion of the world in this book, but other than that it was just okay. It didn't hold my attention as much as the first book. I don't know how much of that is the writing style and how much is my mental state though. I don't think I will be reading the third book in the triology. ( )

Interesting, not quite as compelling a read as the first book (Armageddon's Children), but still enjoyable. ( )

Boy did the Gypsy Morph make more sense now that I read The Elves of Cintra! The order of the books very important. Terry Brooks website mentions the importance of reading orders and I thought I could go through haphazardly because I read some of the series. I suggest seeing the website http://terrybrooks.net/novels/reading-orders/ for your best choice.

Anyway the book was full of character development and action. A good book! ( )

Terry's story continues in the second of three installments for the new bridge series between the fantasy epic shannara and the racy word and void trilogy. In this installment we see where the elves really come from and how they feel the same thing that the humans do. ( )

Even better than the one before, I found it really fast paced and interesting. I'd read it before but didn't remember much of it, so I've enjoyed all the surprises. ( )
