"This has always been my favorite Terry Brooks book. It broke my heart when I first read the ending(I was 14, ok?!). Better than #1 or 3, and a self contained book (something I wish Brooks would go back to: these trilogies got a little long)."
"Like the first book, The Sword of Shannara, this book opens with a grave threat to the Four Lands as the demon prison - the Forbidding - is crumbling. An unlikely hero must guard a young girl in search of a way to renew the magic barrier guarding the Forbidding. Along the way he must overcome self-doubt in order to save their world."
"Much better than the first one. The plot was almost as predictible, but the characters were much more interesting and the ending was really very touching, I thought.
I now understand why they're making this movie first, as this story surpasses the first one. I'll probably read the third one, but not sure about all the surrounding series. Terry Brooks just didn't capture me the same way David Eddings, Robert Jordan, or Terry Goodkind did, I guess."
"This was extremely boring, even at my very young age. Perhaps especially because of my young age, I don't know, but I remember being so turned off by it that I refused to read the next in the series (a rarity), and thinking of giving them another shot leaves an unfortunate taste in my mouth as an adult."
