Sizzlin' Summary:
A new danger comes for the Four Lands... and this time it's ancient! The Demons have at long found a break from the Forbidding, an imprisonment keeping them bound to another world. The ancient magical tree that keeps the Forbidding up, is dying, and has to be reborn soon.
Allanon has returned... and just in the nick of time! But too close this time. There is only one Chosen left... one who can carry the tree's seed to the Bloodfire, the earth's blood, in order to save the world. And Shea's grandson, Wil, is now the owner of the Elfstones... the only defense against the Demons! Wil is made protector of the last Chosen, but he has problems with the Elfstones. Will he overcome everything to end the quest and save the world?
Even if he does, can he stand the price at the end?
Rockin' Review:
Once again, a well-written book. But it wasn't as enjoyable as the first book either. It was only in-between. But I'm once again impressed how Terry Brooks can keep track of the time in those books... I couldn't tell what was happening when half of the time!
So, another in-between. It wasn't great, but it wasn't terrible either! A good book to read when you have the time.
