Relation Toward Books Bloodfire Quest (The Dark Legacy of Shannara #2)
For the first time in his career, Terry will be publishing a book every six months from the start to end of this series: here is the second in a brand-new trilogy, following The Wards of Faerie, in the New York Times bestselling Shannara universe!Long ago, many dangerous creatures were locked behind a magical barrier, bringing peace and prosperity to the land. But now those barriers are eroding, and generations of embittered prisoners are about to escape. War seems inevitable . . . unless a few brave souls can stem the tide. While some venture into the forbidden lands, others must undertake a perilous quest—a quest whose success will mean the death of a young girl who has barely even begun to live, but whose failure will have unimaginable consequences. From riveting start to cliffhanger ending, this is an epic for the ages!

Brooks has been one of my favorite authors for many years. I regularly go to his website for updates. I don't know if it is just me and my reading tastes have changed or if it is Brooks but the last few series he has written have just been blah to me. It may not be coincidence that this started happening when I discovered Brandon Sanderson, David Farland and Peter Brett. This is book 2 of the trilogy, and after having finished this book I find it it it may be hard to finish the series, mostlyA great book! The Dark Legacy of Shannara is quickly becoming one of my favorite Terry Brooks stories. I loved the set up in Wards of Faerie but Bloodfire Quest ratchets it all up to a new level. By the time I finished the book, I just couldn't believe what Terry had done!Nothing is as it seems. For those people who say that Terry has become predictable, they are wrong, wrong, wrong. The last chapters of this book will leave you reading late into the night and the last page will have you fling
#25/29 in my Epic Shannara Quest.A weary sense of deja vu hit me as I started reading this book, the titular quest having been the subject of Elfstones; but it never seemed to be the overriding arc of the book, in a part due to the fact that airships are now commonplace in the Four Lands, making a journey by foot nearly obsolete. People can zip to and from distant locales (on various quests) in a matter of days rather than months.Sometimes it seemed that too much was happening in this book: with
This book picks up right after the first book "Wards of Faerie" and it just gets worse for the group of heroes. The Ard Rhys and party are still in the Forbidding and that is bad, very bad, and Aphenglow Elessedil has taken her sister to the Bloodfire to renew the Ellcrys, but the idiot humans are pursuing them thinking there is magic to be found. And the elves are starting to get ready for the failing of the Forbidding. And another quest to bring back a former druid is underway (which I won't
I've been a fan of Mr. Brooks since I was a kid and first read Magic Kingdom for Sale: Sold. I've been keeping up with his work, always reading and enjoying the new books as they come out. So it really pains me to say this, but I can't help but think that he's either getting old or lazy or both. I was first disappointed with the Legends of Shannara duology and now the Dark Legacy of Shannara continues the trend. I felt like in The Bloodfire Quest Mr. Brooks is just recycling all his old books. I
Wow! I just finished this book! My copy of this book was an ARC copy from NetGalley and the publisher, Del Rey Books. I was first introduced to Terry Brooks and Shannara in the 1990s when I took a young adult literature class as part of my Library Science program, and I was hooked! All the books are well written, the world building is spectacular, the characters well developed. I loved being back in this world and catching up with with these wonderful characters. Bloodfire Quest is the second
This series is much better than the preceding two (High Druid of Shannara and Legends of Shannara). However, there's still too much repetition in the story, characters, situations, settings for me to rate it better than three stars. I'm enjoying it, but feels too familiar. Another complaint I have with this volume in particular is that the story doesn't move along that much. There's a lot of filler here, interesting, but filler none the less. I feel that this volume served the only purpose of
