Interpretation Supposing Books Straken (High Druid of Shannara #3)
The High Druid of Shannara trilogy draws to a thrilling close as a young hero nears completion of his trial by fire, a banished ruler fights for her life in a wilderness of dread, and forces of darkness and light square off in a battle unto death for the right to absolute rule. Prepare to be spellbound by the masterly hand of bestselling legend weaver Terry Brooks, conjuring at the peak of his skills.For reasons known only to himself, the King of the Silver River has charged young Penderrin Ohmsford, barely more than a boy, with the daunting task of rescuing his aunt, Grianne, Ard Rhys of the Druid order, from her forced exile in the terrifying dimension of all things damned: the Forbidding. With the noble dwarf Tagwen and the prodigal elven princess Khyber Elessedil by his side–and with the outcome of the bloody war between the Federation and the Free-born at stake–Pen has accepted his mission without question. But not without risk . . . or sacrifice.
Because Shadea a’Ru, the ruthless Druid responsible for imprisoning the true Ard Rhys and usurping leadership at Paranor, has sent her agents and assassins in relentless pursuit of Pen and his comrades. And in securing the talisman he needs to breach the Forbidding, Pen has paid a devastating price. Now if the Free-born forces–already decimated by the Federation’s death-dealing new weapon–should fall, Shadea’s domination of the Four Lands will be assured. Nothing short of Pen’s success can turn the tide.
But Pen’s challenge grows greater when he learns that his parents, Bek Ohmsford and Rue Meridian, have fallen into Shadea’s hands. He must try to help them–but once within the walls of Druid’s Keep, where Shadea’s minions and dark magic lurk at every turn, Pen’s survival is far from assured. Yet it will all pale in comparison to the horrors that wait inside the Forbidding–horrors poised to break free upon the Four Lands when the time is right. . . .

A satisfying conclusion to this trilogy.After the morass of nothingness that was Tanequil, this book had plenty of action, suspense and likable characters. Not just the "good guys" either, the villains were fun to hate and watch be destroyed. If you were bored to death by Tanequil, rest assured Brooks is back in near top form with this effort.A satisfying conclusion to this trilogy.After the morass of nothingness that was Tanequil, this book had plenty of action, suspense and likable characters.

Terry Brooks has done it again!One thing I admire about Terry Brooks is his ability to bring everything together in a way no other author is really able to. His action and adventure lends itself to explode in the readers imagination and makes the reader want to continue to read more, even if they don't like the direction of the story.I kind of saw the ending of the book coming, and I was sad because I didn't want it to end the way it did, but it made complete sense. Terry Brooks was able to put
Out of all the small series/trilogy that make up the whole of the Shannara series, this is the one I recommend. The High Druid of Shannara trilogy keeps you on the edge of your seat. I really enjoyed the characters, the story, the journey, etc... The journey went and ended how I thought it would. It is one of those endings where you know what is coming, but you don't want it to happen. I was pleasantly surprised to have read this book in one day and in just a few hours. I believe the authors
The ending was rushed compared to the rest of the books. I felt like it was let's just wrap up all loose ends quickly. Compared to all the descriptive words throughout the book, it was short and precise. If the rest of the book had been written that way it would have been shorter and a better read.
Straken has me undecided about it's qualities. It has all the required elements of a magical Terry Brooks read, but it does fail to entrap you in the world of Shannara. It has less of the typical intrigue and emotion and more action and pace. Is that a good thing? There's my dilemma. I love Brooks for the former, and he rarely employs the latter. So, about two thirds through, caught up in terrific pace, you'll not want it to end, pleading that there'll be another book - there seems so much to
I have read this book, and have found it to be a great book worth the read
