Taking place a generation after The Talismans of Shannara, The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara: Ilse Witch opens with the discovery of a body. Only two people understand its significance: Walker Boh, the last of the Druids and a familiar character to Shannara fans, and the Ilse Witch, a beautiful but dark young woman who wields a potent magic. Thus begins the voyage of the Jerle Shannara in a race to uncover the mystery, which of course includes an unusual cast of characters: an Elven prince; a monstrous creature who is part man, part enigma; and a young man who may unknowingly hold the key to the success of the mission. For he is the only one who can call upon that ancient talisman, the Sword of Shannara.

For the legions of fans who've been captivated since the very first Shannara novel, this eagerly anticipated new chapter in Terry Brooks' signature series will be reason to celebrate. The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara: Ilse Witch offers an intriguing invitation to plunge again into the enthralling world of the best-selling Shannara adventures.

hard to get into a story that's abridged when the past 12 have been unabridged.

I love the be series but wish they had the unabridged version. You can't form the same bond with the characters.

great series

I would usually give 5 stars but the reader spoke so fast that I was constantly replaying just to hear. I would recommend slowing down the speaker... also was pronouncing Elcrys wrong ...

Not even half the story. Disappointing. Narrator did pretty good though. I’ll listen to the other two I guess.

Abridged?!??

I cannot give my normal review for this long an fantastic series of Shannara. I Have read this series from beginning to now and love the world of Shannara. My common complaint over all is that for me the unabridged versions could be just little long winded. I had some smaller complaints about some of the readers and there voices and how there voice was not made for this series. Regardless this series the Shannara series is my favorite it has a wonderful story only Terry brooks could create. Do not let the small complaints from keeping you from read them they are well worth your time and if you can get past some the mistakes of who read them I am sure you will agree in my assessment that these books will be read and enjoyed for years to come maybe my children or there children will find there way to this series and enjoy them as I have. If you love fantasy stories then this wonderful series is for you.

I’m sorry, but

He sounds like a "dub" actor from an anime. Overly dramatic, odd pacing and emphasis

Not a fan of the new narrator.

Terry has a way to keep your attention and excitement until the end. The original trilogy just keeps on playing one generation after another.

I love these books

It took a long time for character development and for such a short book, the plot moves quickly. Once I was up to spped, I loved it. This was my favorite book in the series. It took two different time to get into it however

I have read the series several times and listened to the audio books several times and it is still exciting - love the series!

Good read

The book has great characters and the story is pretty cool. The only issue I felt while listening to the book was that the author wanted to make all of the side characters important and so you have listened to half the book before you get into the real action. It seemed like a great start to a longer book but then again this book actually had no resolution. The main characters go on this long journey and right before they find what there looking for the book ends and if you want to find out what happens you will have to read book 2. In the end I was left with a bittersweet taste in my mouth. Definitely worth listening to but probably not one I would think of off the top of my head when friends ask for suggestions as to which book they should read next.

Bittersweet...
