One wonders a great deal about what continuations there are to the lives of those who are left… but the characters seem to be abandoned in the end. I guess the world was perfect over those 6 months or so. A voyage that took months, and a good part of the first book, to accomplish, is completed in very short order on the return leg in this book. Some mysteries go unexplained, some storylines just fade into othing and we once again are forced to deal with a story that gets developed nicely over a long period and then wrapped up too quickly in a few pages. This book does wrap up the trilogy but the result seems flat and hollow compared to the previous two. What can I say… after reading the first 2 of this trilogy, I was anticipating the continuation for many many months. Review #2 The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara: Morgawr audiobook streamming online So that should say a lot about how I like the series and this trilogy now. I have borrowed it and put it into my own Pathfinder campaign. I liked the introduction of airships and their method of levitation and motion. Maybe it was comparing it to The Heritage of Shannara set which has yet to be surpassed as the best Shannara set of books short of The Elfstones of Shannara, one of the first Shannara books. I must have had something going on that altered my perception of this book because it was much better than I remember. I have changed my earlier opinion of the series and this book as a result of rereading it. This trilogy, upon rereading it has actually increased in its stature. I originally was not happy with the trilogy system, but I think that had a lot to do with one particular trilogy that went off the rails in my opinion. It has held up remarkably well as has the entire series. Having read this series once when it first came out, I was very happy to reread it again. ![]() The journey home cannot take place until that is accomplished. Bek Ohmsford must find a way to get through to his catatonic sister, the Ilse Witch, or all will be lost. They must overcome additional challenges before finally escaping his clutches only to be overtaken and confronted by his evil power. ![]() The survivors of the battles with Antrax are pursued by the Morgawr and his Mwellret followers. Morgawr picks right up where Antrax left off and goes all the way to the grand finale of the trilogy. It is a riveting conclusion to the series and actually puts events into motion that set up the next trilogy of the Shannara series. This is the concluding volume of The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara trilogy by Terry Brooks.
