Since the death of the Druid Allanon, the Four Lands have changed profoundly, with magic strictly forbidden in the Southland, now under totalitarian rule. Yet Par still has some power of the Wishsong. A message from Allanon arrives: venture to the dread Hadeshorn, along with the other Scions of Shannara. For in the future, all life in the Four Lands will be destroyed. To prevent this terrible fate, Allanon commands Par to recover the long-lost Sword of Shannara, a task that is next to impossible.

Story
When the world was young, and its name was Faerie, the power of magic ruled - and the Elfstones warded the race of Elves and their lands, keeping evil at bay. But when an Elven girl fell hopelessly in love with a Darkling boy of the Void, he carried away more than her heart. Thousands of years later, tumultuous times are upon the world now known as the Four Lands. Users of magic are in conflict with proponents of science. Elves have distanced their society from the other races. The Druid order is threatened.

headline said optional... it's not
hard to get into a story that's abridged when the past 12 have been unabridged.

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

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 ...

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

I’m sorry, but
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.

Not a fan of the new narrator.
He sounds like a "dub" actor from an anime. Overly dramatic, odd pacing and emphasis

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

The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara: Ilse Witch
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

Bittersweet...
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.
