So, I love having audiobooks. It means I can experience a book pretty much whenever I want, and I don't have to sit down and read it. I could be cleaning...I could be in transit...and still read books!

Sorry, random splurge into commercial marketing for audiobooks.

Anyway, it is helping me finish faster when I have an audiobook to listen to. Almost done!

Aha! There are the elves. And now we have the official setup done for the entire series. I am now starting to wonder how this book actually ends. And how the climax is going to be quality-wise.

And we've been introduced to all the main characters of this series...except for the elves. Not sure if they only come in on the second book, but I am really excited to get this whole magic/our world thing explained to me again. It's been a while since I read these books.

The one thing I do have an issue with is why the gypsy morph took a hundred years to manifest after Nest gave birth to it. Hopefully that will get explained... If the only reason it happened was because Terry wanted to do a post-apocalyptic Shannara series, then...I will not like that.

I find it funny that the various Ghosts, the kids, are named after animals, but the dog is named after a person. Cheney, to be exact

Whoa... it's almost a hundred years after the Word and Void trilogy? Well, I guess that makes sense.

Okay... Logan has Nest's hand-bones now...kinda creepy...

Two Bears is back. And he hasn't aged a bit.

Just from that prologue I remember how much I liked these books. Getting excited to finally figure out some of the secrets to the old world of Shannara. And we're back in Hopewell, Illinois. This time it's a ruin.
