Summary: 5 Stars
Terry Brooks has followed up his highly-successful "Armageddon's Children" with a story loaded with action and adventure.
Hawk and Tessa, thrown from the ledge of the compound in the first book, are mysteriously swallowed up by a bright light. They are taken to the King of the Silver River. The king informs Hawk that he is the Gypsy Morph and is responsible for leading thousands of children to safety. He begins his journey south along the Columbia River.
Angel Perez, having outrun the demon pursuing her, has made her way north to Seattle. She has been told that she is to rescue the Elves and help lead them to safety. She meets Kirisin and his sister, Simralin and together, they begin a long and dangerous journey to locate the Loden elfstone which will save the Ellcrys. Using the blue elfstones as a guide, Angel, Kirisin, and Simralin find the location of the hidden Loden. However, Kirisin is betrayed by a person he thought was his friend, and this betrayal may lead to terrible consequences.
Logan Tom witnessed Hawk and Tessa being swallowed by the light. He now must do his best to find Hawk while at the same time watching over the other Ghosts. While journeying across the open country, Logan encounters a rogue Knight of the Word, who forces Logan to square off against him in a battle to the death. Logan survives, but soon he becomes very ill. It is up to the rest of the Ghosts to now care for Logan. But, while caring for Logan, the Ghosts are reunited with Hawk and Tessa. Unfortunately, the danger is just beginning for Angel, Kirisin, and Simralin.
Will Hawk fulfill his destiny? Will Logan survive? Will Kirisin deliver the Loden to the Ellcrys before its too late?
This is a magnificent book. I've read all of Terry Brooks' previous books, and his unique storytelling style continues to shine through with each new book he releases. This is true with this book, as well. The characters are well-developed and the reader can easily identify with them. The story is wonderfully created and flows together very nicely. The ending is the perfect lead-in to the next book in the series.
I give this book my highest recommendation. Terry Brooks is one of the masters of the fantasy genre, and this great book maintains his spot at the top of the list. Read this great book and experience fantasy fiction at its absolute best.
