Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Start of something...a bit...new
This book begins a new type of series for Brooks. Three hundred years into the future from where Wishsong ended, the Four Lands have changed dramatically.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Book... Looks like this could be another great series from Mr. Brooks

Once again Terry Brooks takes the Omsford family and the Leah family on a quest to stand against a great evil in the land. Once again the characters are not sure they want to be part of this quest but once again they are told them must and come to realize that (although Walker Boh still wasn't sure at the end)it is their destiny to do so. ...
