Summary: Great Book, but the worst one in the Heratige Sreies
Review: I did really enjoy this book, but it moved kind of slow. I did like the part where you find out the oragin of the creatures tormenting the Fourlands. I also like the battles the Elves where fighting when they were located, but the main thing I didn't like, was how the Elves were taken back to the Fourland, I mean get real, the whole Elven population, cities and all were put into an elf stone, besides, there was only supposed to be one elf stone with all three stone combined into one, and then a second one, this one appears. Overall this was a really good book and a great continuation in the series, but my least favorite of all the Shannara books.

Summary: The Best of All
Review: I first read this book about three years ago only because I had to read a book for my class or get a failing grade. I hated to read, mainly because I never really had. When I was in the school library I wasn't even sure how the place worked. I just walked in and picked a wall of books not knowing it was the fiction part of the place. I can still see it sitting there, it was a hardcover copy and the only reason I got it was because I loved the picture on the cover. It was amazing...it was like being transported into a whole new world. I laughed, and cried throughout the whole thing. When a character died, I felt like a part of myself died as well. After reading it I begged my mother to buy me all of the Shannara books and I read them all in a few weeks. Terry Brooks is the reason I now love to read and I will never forget the first book I ever read...The Elf Queen of Shannara.

Summary: * * FANTASTIC * *
Review: I honestly don't know how Terry Brooks manages to keep capturing the reader's attention with his novels. Besides Tolkien, Brooks has become my second favorite author."THE ELF QUEEN OF SHANNARA" is the 3rd book in his Shannara heritage series. First of all, if you haven't read the other two ("SCIONS OF SHANNARA" AND "DRUID OF SHANNARA"), you definitely need to read them first to fully appreciate Terry's unraveling of the mysterious Shadowen creatures. That being said, this books is probably my favorite of the four. Reason: Wren Ohmsford. Wren is a very strong heroine who suffers through all kinds of nightmares and still manages to get through the deeds that Allanon assigns her. Basically, Allanon is a "dead" druid who fears the worst might come to the Four Lands if his requests are not carried out. The Four Lands are already being plagued with the Shadowen (horrific creatures that haunt the living - btw - in this book, the origins of the Shadowen are revealed - I was shocked when I found out - I'm not gonna say a word more about them!) and the crushing policies of the Federation; the two combined have taken the life out of the land. Wren is given the task of finding the "Land Elves" and returning them to the Four Lands. It seems so impossible because they have disappeared for almost 100 years. She finally discovers that they are entrenched behind the walls of Arborlon on the demon-infected island of Morrowindl. And her journey into hell begins. Besides the actions, Brooks does an excellent job of drawing out the characters. At first, Wren truly is an innocent but courageous girl. But Brooks uses the plot and other characters to bring out her innate qualities of strength and determination to paint her as a woman worthy of the title of Elf Queen. The secondary characters are incredibly depicted and you come to feel for them. (I cried buckets at the end when I first read this book! - they do die though - but it would be too mean for me to reveal who dies!). I totally recommend this book for fantasy lovers or even for those who are just testing the waters. You won't be able to put it down! And don't forget to read the other novels in the series!!!

Summary: on and on and on and on...
Review: I wonder how many more lame books this guy has left in him? he probably won't stop until every 13 year old turd in the world is sick of him, which probably won't be anytime soon. Oh, the book? Interchangeable with every other Shannara book. Pick one up and you've read them all, it doesn't matter what one you grab. Cookie-cutter fantasy for the pre-teen crowd.

Summary: Startlingly different from the other Heritage books
Review: I've read practically every Shannara book in existence, and loved every one of them, so I was ecstatic when I got my hands on "Elf Queen." And in the beginning, it looked pretty much like it was going to be a typical Shannara-type book: A member of the Ohmsford family is charged by the Druid Allanon to go on a quest and find something. In this case, Wren Ohmsford, and she's charged to find the Elves, who've been missing from the Four Lands for, oh, a century or so. There are undeniably a lot of similarities to the other Shannara books, but it struck me as different; it stood out from the "Heritage" series in the same way "The Elfstones of Shannara" stood out from the Shannara Trilogy. For one thing, the book doesn't begin with a company of people on a quest, it ends with one. Only after Wren has found the Elves is a company formed, with the purpose of getting the Elves back to the Four Lands. Wren's not a typical Ohmsford type, either; most of them are naive country bumpkins who need the previously mentioned company to watch their backs. Wren, on the other hand, goes on the quest alone exept for her friend/mentor/father-figure, Garth, who's taught her how to take care of herself. That mirrors "The Elfstones", where there also are only two people (at least in the end). The setting's also different. Instead of the typical marshes or forests or cities, it's a semi-tropical island out in the sea. If you've read any of the books, you know that seas are EXTREMELY rare in the Shannara series. One thing remains the same (hallelujah): there's zillions of dark, evil monsters out to get Garth and Wren. Brooks does a very good job of describing the jungle's nightmarish atmosphere--it makes you want to look over your shoulder. One of the downsides to this book is the company of people who carry all the Elven people back to mainland (The Elves have all, by magical means, been conjured into a gem the size of a fist called the Loden). As usual, Terry Brooks begins by knocking off two or three of the company's members, and others die at regular intervals; unfortunately, none of the people have been in the story long enough to evoke any emotional response when they die, except for one or two individuals. The feeling that most of the other people are there so Wren won't die is extremely depressing. On the whole, though, Terry Brooks did an excellent job with the "Elf Queen", especially in Wren's characterization. If you've never read any of Brooks's books before, this one might "win you over", though I'd recommend reading the other books in the series first; you risk getting VERY confused otherwise. If I could give this book six stars, I would.

Summary: Pretty good yepyepyep
Review: If anyone is actually reading this review, I say buy the four books for Heritage of Shannara and go for it...they all go a little slow at times, but the great plot twists and characters make up for it

Summary: This book is placed in the fiercest territory of the series.
Review: If I had to rank the Shannara books from best to worst, I 'd have to say this one is number eight. But on a scale of one to ten: A definet ten! Terry Brooks puts into this books the most mysterious and weirdest cgharecter(The Addershag), one of the most fioercest monsters(the Wisteron), and the worst place one would want to end up, in the worst possible situation(except for the situation in The Elfstones of Shannara). The action almsot never stops, and the unexpected twists and turns of this one had me going. I'm no expert on writing reveiws, but the only thing this one lacks is lore and history like in the other books. But even that is nbot a hendrence. Even though the bopok starts off a little shaky, once you get onto Morrwindl, you wo'nt be abler to put the book down.
