The Wishsong of Shannara

Title: The Wishsong of Shannara
Author: Terry Brooks
Rating: Two and a Half Guitars

Sizzilin' Summary:
This time, it's Wil's children who gets hunted down by Allanon! The stakes are as high as ever... but this time, the target is much larger! With the magic of the wishsong, Wil's daughter Brin has to destroy the source of dark magic itself! When the evil Mord Wraiths come about for Allanon afterward, Brin's brother Jair is set off on an adventure of his own...
But there's much more to this adventure. With terrible prophecies, will Brin and Jair make it out at all alive... or as themselves?

Sizzilin' Summary:
I'll go as far to say that this book is worse than Elfstones! The story was well-written, which is why it got the half-guitar, but the story just wasn't enjoyable. Except for a few parts, it didn't catch you and keep you in. Even the ending wasn't great... only a few parts of the ending kept you in. Bad news is, the wishsong is supposed to stay during the most of the Shannara books, so you'll have to read this to keep reading Shannara.
I suggest looking up the wishsong on the Internet, or getting a friend to tell you if you're keeping with the Shannara series, because this is one book that I wouldn't suggest for reading!
