Summary: Will we see a fourth book?!
Review: In "Angel Fire East", Terry Brooks returns to the writing style of "Running with the Demon", and I think it is the best of the three books in the series. Nest has returned to Hopewell after a personal tragedy at the Olympics and a failed personal life. She is living in her Grandparents' home, and is reunited with some of the characters from the first book. She is visited by a demon searching for John Ross, and Nest must decide whether or not she wants to invite the chaos that seems to follow John back into her life. The demons in this story are much more satisfying than the demons of the previous two. Findo Gask is an intellectual equal to John and Nest, and it makes the story more compelling to read. The only disappointment to the book is that the ending has left it wide open for a fourth, and we have yet to see whether or not Terry Brooks will add to the series in the future. Either way, it's worth the read!

Summary: Excellent addition to the series
Review: The third book of The Word and the Void series does not disappoint. Taking place ten years after the Knight of the Word, we find Nest, a former Olymic gold medalist and recent divorcee back in her hometown of Hopewell, Illinois. Which is fine by this reviewer since Brooks gave us a wonderfully vivid impression of it in his last two books. He describes Hopewell with as much care and compassion as he does with Shady Vale.
Nest is approached and harrased by a demon named Findo Gask who is a preacher of the Void. He is looking for, who else, John Ross. John apparantly has been given the task by the Lady of capturing a Gypsy Morph, a being of great magic, and Gask wants it.The authors strength here is not actually the premise but the characters in the series. However the payoff at the end is very much worth it. Most of the supporting characters that were in the first book pop up in one way or another here. Bennet Scott, the little girl that nest saves at the very beginning of the series, being a prime example. The demons (yes that's plural)in this book are particularly exceptional. Gask being the most formidable. Two Bears, whom I'm not normally a fan of, also makes his best cameo yet. One admirable aspect of these novels is they take place over a span of twenty years, but the author is very carefull not to date the books with, well, by giving dates and telling current events or technology. Interesting sidenote, thought it was worth mentioning. Anyway.... Anyone who thinks that this is the last installment to a trilogy will be pleasantly surprised. Brooks leaves a lot open at the end of this story.
Highly recommended. Fans do not worry. My second favorite after "Demon"

Summary: Angel Fire East
Review: Wow, that was terrible. The main villain's description appears to have been written immediately after watching Poltergeist 2 as they're the same bad guy. Brooks has gone past foreshadowing to 'forehammering' upcoming events into the readers brain. As opposed to a cast of millions, Terry has relied on a cast of morons. The plot drags, the writing is ineffectual, the main characters are dull and lifeless. I highly advice spending your money and time elsewhere.
