false 15552 9 War threatens the Four Lands, and Shannara's only hope lies in Penderrin Ohmsford, but it's a dreadfully slim hope. To save his world, Pen must restore his aunt, the former Ilse Witch, to her rightful position as High Druid of Shannara. But first Pen must free his aunt Grianne from the Forbidding: the world of the demons. To have the slightest chance of freeing her, he must find the mystical tree called the Tanequil, and somehow craft a talisman from its wood. But Shadea a'Ru, the treacherous usurper of his aunt's position, will do anything to stop Pen--and she has already captured Pen's parents and forced them to reveal their son's whereabouts. Sen Dunsidan, the monstrous Prime Minister of the Federation, has armed his greatest airship with a horrible new weapon. And Pen is just a boy, accompanied on his dangerous quest by only a Dwarf, a young Elf, and a blind Rover girl.<p> Filled with action, treachery, and sacrifice, <I>Tanequil</I> will enthrall Terry Brooks's millions of fans as it roars to a shocking conclusion. However, newcomers to the Shannara series should not begin with <I>Tanequil</I>. It's the middle book of the <I>High Druid of Shannara</I> trilogy, and the thirteenth novel of a complicated high-fantasy series with numerous characters and sentient races. Newcomers should start with <I>Jarka Ruus</I>, the first book of the High Druid trilogy--or, better yet, with <I>The Sword of Shannara</I>, the first book of the series. <I>--Cynthia Ward</I> 1266243 2004 Tanequil (High Druid of Shannara, #2) total:1323|5:376|4:468|3:403|2:69|1:7| 1323 5106 1746 25 3 0 false false Mon Mar 30 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 29 22:15:18 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 29 22:50:41 -0700 2009
I was hoping that this book would kick the High Druid series into gear. However, I am left feeling that this series is likely targeted at a teen audience, as it is fairly predictable.
