Another tale of Shannara with familiar settings and some
what familiar characters. This tale takes
place after The
High Druid's Blade. Paxon is world
weary and facing, once again, implacable odds and daunting sorcery.
Paxon is not the carefree young man we met in The High
Druid's Blade. He is now married to the
daughter of his nemesis. That provides
a wealth of complications to his life.
In addition, his sister is showing the legacy of the Wish Song magic
which makes her a prize in the armory of whoever can control her.
Back story is important in these books and Brooks doesn't
provide much of a back story. If you
have read them continuously that isn't a problem but a new reader would find
themselves scratching their head with great frequency.
Paxon Leah is still a likeable main character and the world
of the Druids is always entertaining.
