Summary: The best book in the trilogy.
Review: This is the third and final book of The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara trilogy (after Ilse Witch and Antrax).There are only a few survivors in the ruins of Castledown. As some of them are still trying to get out, others go in search of lost pieces of the Jerle Shannara, only to come across more monsters, the bloodthirsty beasts that dwell in the forests and mountains of Parkasia. And not only do the heroes have to find a way to repair the airship in order to cross the Blue Divide and go back home, but the Morgawr has just arrived with a fleet of airships and is attacking them to take possession of the legendary Books of Magic that he believes have been found. Held prisoner on Black Moclips by Cree Bega and his Mwellrets, Bek barely manages to escape with the help of the shapeshifter Truls Rohk, and goes in search of Walker in the ruins of Castledown. When they finally find him in the maze of corridors, the Ilse Witch is beside him, holding the bloodied Sword of Shannara in her hands. What she's experiencing at this moment is the magic of the artefact flowing through her, making her see the Truth, the dreadful horror of all the things she's done under the Morgawr's dominion. So shocked, so ashamed is she of what her life has been for all these years, she hides deep within herself, and falls into a catatonic state. Before leaving, Bek promises the dying Druid to bring her back to the Four Lands and to do everything to protect her, as she has yet another destiny to fulfill. After reading a more cheap sci-fi than fantasy Antrax, I was rather scared and didn't now what to expect of this book. To my relief, Morgawr is in my opinion the best volume of the Jerle Shannara trilogy. Packed with action, and with characters that finally grow in depth, it reminded me of some of the good old Shannara adventures.

Summary: Beyond horrid
Review: Rehashed plot, rehashed story lines and I think Terry Brooks has lost his muse. Man, this was just horrible. Frankly, the first two in this series were the same, as was the Heritage of Shannara series. Why do you keep reading Terry Brooks you ask? Because in 1980, Sword of Shannara was the first fantasy book I ever read and I read it over and over and over ( I was 10 and this was all new). Even now, knowing that the Sword of Shannara was shall we say a "homage" to Lords of the Ring, I still love it. Call it that clinging to innocent youth. Same deal with Elfstones, not so much with Wishsong, but I enjoyed the First King of Shannara. The rest of the series is pure scripting by the numbers that I simply read in hopes that I get that that same feeling again that I had with Sword. Anyway, this was just horrible. The only character of interest was the Shape Changer Truls, after that, I couldn't care for anyone. Oh yes, even though Shea Ohmsford and Menion Leah have been dead for hundreds of years, the same characters exist in Bek and Quention. You can also find identical versions in his other books. Same old story: (1) orphan; (2) wizened sage; (3) bad guy; (4) save the world or get artifact. Try reading Martin, Lynn Flemming, Hobbs or Keyes if you want to really get into a book. Keep reading this if you are one of those folks out there that keeps hoping that the Shannara series will be like it was the first time you read Sword

Summary: Great book
Review: This book was probably my favorite out of the three Jerle Shannara books. It had more action & content then the other two, but I also loved the other books. If you haven't already read the oringal Shannara books I recommend that you do 'cause they're as good as this one.

Summary: His best series
Review: I have read all of the Shannara series, and think Sword of Shannara is an important work. The Jerle Shannara series is in my opinion, his best work. It takes leaps from technology to science, the past to the future, adolescence to adulthood, companionship to love, accident of birth to conviction of purpose, short term goals to long term achievements, and failure as a part of the path to success. The characters emote, not brood, because they think and feel. The action is vivid, focused, and dramatic. I would recommend this series to anyone.

Summary: Disappointing End To A Dud Of A Series
Review: This is the third and last book in the "Voyage of the Jerle Shannara" series set in the fantasy world of Shannara. I'm going to review both the series and the book: 1) I'm a big fan of Terry Brooks because his books are always fun to read. But this latest series was just a big dud. It lacked the magic of the other Shannara books. Bek and Grianne Ohmsford are made out to be the best heroes ever, but they fall far short and really weren't that special. Half the characters were recycled from previous books (an Ohmsford, a Leah, a dwarf, a Rover, a druid, a bad guy, whatever), and the most interesting ones were either barely utilized or abruptly killed off without so much as a word. The old talismans like the Sword of Shannara, Elfstones, and Wishsong were mere shadows of themselves. While the new gimmicks were hit or miss for me. A lot of folks liked the airships, but their technical distractions just gave me a headache. I did like the fact that technology plays a big role in this series. The magic-meets-machine Antrax with its artificial intelligence and Borg-like drones was the most interesting thing in the entire series. And the new but old continent of Parkasia was a welcome addition to the increasingly crowded world of Shannara. 2) The book is one big reason why the series ended up as a dud for me. The first two books weren't that bad, but this book soured me on the whole series. After two of my favorite characters died, I realized how unlikable the main heroes were. The plot was also rushed. Nothing more is done with Parkasia or the forbidden technology of Antrax. Everybody just runs around dazed a bit before finally heading on home. Stopping to battle the bad guy, of course. And what a lousy bad guy the book's namesake, the Morgawr, made. He ended up becoming just another typical evil power-hungry warlock. Nothing really special about him at all. All in all, I have to say this is the only series where I didn't like ANY of the main characters. If you're a die-hard Shannara fan, then stomach it. Otherwise, I wouldn't even bother.

Summary: Great buldup, light finish...
Review: I have been reading the Shannara books for as long as I've been reading Fantasy, ever since The Wishstones of Shannara I believe. I've always loved the writing and the world in which Terry places his characters. This series in particular intrigued me because of the new characters and we got to learn a bit more about the "Old Earth".
Unfortunately, the ending left me wanting for more. The voyage home seemed rushed and thin. I guess I can feel better now that he is continuing the stories in his new book but I didn't know that when I originally finished Morgawr.

Summary: Suspense from begining to end.
Review: Brooks does a good job in this last installment of the trilogy, " The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara.." The book never got boring as I read it. However, I feel Brooks did not spend that much time on the main antagonist the Morgawr; or his final stand with Grianne and the crew of the Jerle Shannara. Perhaps I just didn't want the novel to be over so soon. I wanted more story....that desire is the reason why I would recommend this book. To me, not wanting the book to end is great story telling!

Summary: Terry Brooks continues to amaze me!
Review: Brooks has done it again. This final book in the trilogy is well written and entertaining. Having read every one of Terry's books, I am a tremendous fan of his writing. I am also a harsh critic when I do not think his latest book holds up the tradition of his earlier works. This book is very good and ranks high up on my list of favorites. The beauty of Morgawr is that it nicely ties the three books together in an action filled plot that keeps you turning the pages. It was difficult to put down. Brooks also sets things up for his next trilogy and I will anxiously await its publication. If you are a fan of Brooks, you will love this book. If you have never read any of Terry's books, I would recommend that you start at the beginning with the 'Shannara' series. You can't go wrong there.

Summary: A great book.
Review: The entire story is a HUGE climax, I highly reccomend.
