Witches' Brew (Magic Kindom of Landover Series)

Rating:
Summary: Awesome! What more could you want!?!
Review: This book is one of the best of Brooks' Landover series. It has the same mystical, adventurous feeling as the first four books and also adds a wide variety of creatures and things set against lawyer Ben Holiday. This is a must read for those enjoy Brooks' other hits. This book is a milestone in the advancement of fantasy writing. Terry Brooks knows how to write, I can tell you that!

Rating:
Summary: 4.5
Review: This is a good book, however it's not the best of the Landover series. The tangle box is a finer book but this one is still worth reading if you are a fantasy fan. The novel centers on the Witch nightshade's plan to destroy The High Lord and the instrument of the witch'es choosing is Mistaya, the High Lord's daughter. Usually the landover books are longer than this and perhaps if it was longer I would have enjoyed it more. There was somthing missing. Yet there are some truly scary scenes involving an ardsheal and other monsters so if you like monsters and lots of fighting this book is for you.

Rating:
Summary: Not the Funniest in the Series, but Still an Excellent Book.
Review: This Landover novel has the most Monsters in a Brooks book to date. For a real monster fan, this book should be a real treat.

Rating:
Summary: actually it is 4.5
Review: This one is almost as good as "The Tangle Box," if you can believe it. Nightshade's hatred seems a bit over the top, but I guess that is her character. Again, Ben is confounded by things he can't understand and he doesn't really know what to do, even though it is clear to the reader what is going on, down to Nightshade's sidekick. But the plot is well developed and the mud puppy bit is a great addition! Poor Abernathy. Enough said. Read this one. You really must.

Summary: Describing the book
Review: Witches' Brew is about Ben Holiday (High Lord of Landover) and his daughter Mistaya. She was kidnapped by the evil witch Nightshade. Mistaya has always been fascinated by magic, and Nightshade teaches her that, because she was born in the Deep Fell, she is really a witch. Meanwhile at Sterling Silver, Ben has to defeat an array of seven "creatures" sent by evil Lord Rydall of Marnhull, and Albernathy (the Court Scribe) and Questor Thews (Court Wizard) are whisked away to their master's Old World.
