About this title: This high fantasy kicks off a new trilogy within the long-running and ever-popular Shannara series. Despite the passage of 20 years, Grianne Ohmsford, the Ard Rhys, or High Druid, of Paranor, still struggles to put her dark past--the days when she was the sinister Ilse Witch--behind her. Many refuse to accept her redemption, blaming her for the actions of her former self and suspecting that she has not entirely turned away from evil. One faction has chosen to act on those suspicions, abducting Grianne and imprisoning her in the demon-inhabited dimension known as the Forbidding. Unfortunately ...

"I always enjoy a good Shannara trilogy and this book was a good start to another amazing adventure. Penderrin Ohmsford finds himself unprepared to take on the biggest challenge of his life - rescuing his aunt. She is the High Druid of Shannara and some of her collegues have conspired against her. It's fun to revisit old acquaintances from past series and meet new friends along the way. The only thing I didn't like about this book was sometimes the author would tell me what I should think about events instead of letting me make the connections for myself."
"Reading a Shannara series is like coming home. I've been overdosing on mysteries lately and forgotten how fun it was to read about places with magic and fantastical creatures. There are even flying ships! Terry Brooks always includes great maps with his books, and I spent some time poring over them, reliving adventures past and reacquainting myself with the Four Lands. I highly recommend any Shannara book."
"It's hard for me to give this one more than a moderate rating, since I've rated the prequel books in this series so highly. Additionally I think I skipped the last book in the ilse witch series. In any case, this is an acceptable coming of age adventure. Nothing really stands out so far, beyond the wonderful look into The Forbidding.
If you read the rest, you should probably read this one too."
"I felt pretty lukewarm about this one. It took a while to get into the story, but the end picked up a little. As part of my quest to read all of Brooks' Shannara series, I really felt that I was just checking this one off the list. Hopefully the next one will be better."
