Fantasy. Fiction. HTML:In the far future, unbeknown to humankind, an apocalyptic war is brewing. Fearsome, vengeful Demons rage at the boundaries of the world, held at bay by a spell called the Forbidding. But now that barrier is dying. Evil is beginning to break through. And only the Chosen can banish the Demons back to their realm.

Wil Ohmsford is a healer, not a fighter; a man of duty, not great deeds. But this epic battle seeks him out, for he holds the Elfstones: mysterious protective talismans passed down by his grandfather. Wil is recruited to act as guardian to the Elf girl Amberle, who must venture far to deliver a seed that will help the Forbidding to grow again. The fate of civilization rests upon her shouldersâ??and the completion of her mission rests upon Wil's. Now, as the forces of darkness descend, Wil and Amberle embark on a perilous journey, placing their faith in each other to survive the bloodthirsty terrors that await.

I liked it and am excited to watch the t.v series now. The world building was great and i loved the characters but the battle scenes did bore me at points. But overall very good read.

Meglio del primo, ma non ancora all'altezza di una buona trilogia fantasy. Cosa manca? Sostanza e forma, per così dire.

Manca la sostanza perché tra una settimana (o forse anche meno) mi sarò dimenticata completamente di questo libro. Non mi ha lasciato nulla. I personaggi sono piatti, privi di fascino e forza empatica. Gli unici che potrei salvare sono Eretria e Stee Jans (che si rivela mille volte più carismatico del legittimo erede al trono degli Elfi).

Manca la forma perché lo stile di Brooks continua a essere carente. Ancora una volta il Male viene descritto con ogni turpe parola che possa essere rintracciata nel dizionario e ancora una volta si ha l'impressione che questi demoni siano babau. L'intero romanzo dà l'idea che la vittoria finale sia scontata: il lettore non riesce a percepire gli sforzi dei protagonisti, i loro tormenti, le loro paure. Tutto viene descritto e niente fa presa. Il capitolo finale sembra addirittura svelare l'intera impalcatura narrativa: quel personaggio esiste perché altrimenti dopo la guerra sarebbe rimasto un vuoto incolmabile che avrebbe reso il finale incompleto. Davvero pessimo.

Naturalmente anche in questo secondo episodio ci sono numerosi riferimenti a Il Signore degli Anelli, ma non risultano invasivi come ne La Spada di Shannara. Ho trovato più fastidiose le analogie tra i due romanzi del Ciclo (una su tutte, Wisp-Orl Fane). ( )

Ellcrys, el árbol mágico que mantiene a los demonios cautivos tras el muro de la Prohibición, está muriendo. Sin Ellcrys, las hordas de demonios camparán libres entre las razas que habitan las Cuatro Tierras. Allanon, el legendario druida, encarga a Wil Ohmsford que acompañe a Amberle, una joven elfa, en una peligrosa misión: llevar la semilla de Ellcrys hasta el misterioso Fuego de Sangre para conseguir que el árbol renazca y restaure la Prohibición. Pero el Dagda Mor, el demonio más poderoso, ya está libre y ha enviado a su secuaz más temible, la Parca, a acabar con Wil y Amberle. El destino de las Cuatro Tierras está en manos de los dos jóvenes, que se embarcan en la aventura más difícil de su vida. ¿Conseguirán que Ellcrys renazca antes de que el Dagda Mor y su ejército de demonios consigan la victoria?

If you want to read my review of the first book in the trilogy you can do that HERE . One of my biggest gripes about the last book was the lack of female representation, Brooks seems to have fixed that with the introduction of Amberle and Eretria. While Amberle was prominent throughout the book Eretria was a bit of a side character. Wil (the main character and grandson to the previous protagonist of the last book) must continue the family business and save the world from darkness. This books pacing was better, yet it still had the long winded history monologues of the first book.

I did like Wil and Amberle, although it pissed me off that no matter how many times Amberle asks Wil to keep her up to date on what was going on Wil still kept things in the dark. It is this weird cliche thing authors use about keeping the women safe and usually ends up just making things worse. Besides that I really enjoyed the book. It was faster paced and seemed to carry more emotion with the characters than the last, at least for me.

Reading this book does make me want to check out the T.V. show, I like comparing books to shows/movies. ( )

-Der alte Mann im Schaukelstul summte leise vor sich hin, während er in den in der Dämmerung liegenden Wald hinausblickte. Weit im Westen, jenseits der grünen Mauer der Bäume, die undurchdringlich die Lichtung umschloß, auf der seine Hütte stand, sank die Sonne unter den Horizont und das Tageslicht wurde fahl und grau.-
