Publisher's summary

From New York Times best-selling author Terry Brooks comes the final thrilling novel in a brand-new trilogy: The Dark Legacy of Shannara!

For centuries the Four Lands enjoyed freedom from its demon-haunted past, protected by magic-enhanced borders from the dark dimension known as the Forbidding and the profound evil imprisoned there. But now the unthinkable is happening: The ancient wards securing the barrier between order and mayhem have begun to erode - and generations of bloodthirsty, monstrous creatures, fueled by a rage thousands of years in the making, are poised to spill forth, seeking revenge for what was done to them.

Young Elf Arling Elessedil possesses the enchanted means to close the breach and once more seal the denizens of the Forbidding in their prison. But when she falls into the hands of the powerful Federation’s diabolical Prime Minister, her efforts may be doomed. Only her determined sister, Aphen, who bears the Elfstones and commands their magic, has any hope of saving Arling from the hideous fate her captor has in store. Meanwhile, Railing Ohmsford - desperate to save his imprisoned brother - seeks to discover if his famed but ill-fated ancestor Grianne is still alive and willing to help him save the world... no matter the odds or the consequences.

Narrator was Great book not so much

I’m so tired of Terry Brooks inconsistency when writing, if I didn’t know he was down to his last 7 books I wouldn’t read another one.

Terry how dumb do you think your audience is?

Think about it.

Another notch in the belt

Brooks spins a wonderfully drawn out tale over this trilogy, and this last book was the ending I expected. Light on the typical stuff like relationships and commonsense for the characters, but that's what defines them sometimes. The narrator gets quiet at times and it's easy to miss what she says, but she did a wonderful job with the character voices and giving emotion to them. Overall, it was worth the listen.

Enthralling!

Once you start the climactic finale can't come soon enough. I never put it down. I hope there is more to come from this world of Terry Brooks.

Enjoyable

Probably found the second in the trio more compelling and tension filled as it set the scene for third instalment. That said this was a great final book and all the major threads get tied off neatly. Terrific characters including the Witch Waith.

Be careful what you wish for

Please note that you sometimes don’t get what you want nor even sometimes what you need, but in the end things work out.

Great closing to a great series.

What did you love best about Witch Wraith?

This book was a great ending to a wonderful series, well, this particular trilogy, and you will not be disappointed. I have read many Terry Brooks books and even within this trilogy this one was pretty good.

What does Rosalyn Landor bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She did a great job with changing characters and was pleasant to listen to.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No, sorry, I can't cry. Tear ducts were removed when I joined the Army. :P

What elfstones?

Good and bad this trilogy is a nostalgia piece. I was super stoked to dive into this book! The missing elfstones caught me up but then they almost completely faded out of the storyline which bummed me out. The performance of the story was really excellent! The story itself had really really strong moments but then others that felt recycled or hurried. Overall I am happy that I picked it up and will continue to follow Terry Brooks.
