A fitting close to the quartet that is the "Heritage of Shannara". Once again, Brooks characterizations are among the best in the epic fantasy tradition. Walker Boh becomes fully realized as the inheritor of Allanon's powers as a druid, Wren Ohmsford fully steps into her role as the Queen of the Elves, Par and Coll Ohmsford are reunited as brothers, and the entire group confronts the looming evil of Rimmer Dall and the hordes of shadowen plaguing the Four Lands. Looking forward to hitting the next trilogy in the series, "Voyage of the Jerle Shannara."
