The Sword of Shannara Audiobook is an epic fantasy novel by American writer Terry Brooks. It is the first book of the Original Shannara Trilogy, followed by The Elfstones of Shannara and The Wishsong of Shannara.

The entire series is excellent however the this book is what originally roped me in. It will unlock your imagination and you feel for the characters. You feel as though you are in the story.

Plot Summary

Long ago, the world of the Four Lands was torn apart by the wars of ancient Evil. But in the Vale, the half-human, half-elfin Shea Ohmsford now lives in peace – until the mysterious, forbidding figure of the druid Allanon appears, to reveal that the supposedly long-dead Warlock Lord lives again.

Shea must embark upon the elemental quest to find the only weapon powerful enough to keep the creatures of darkness at bay: the fabled Sword of Shannara.

Audiobook Review

I know Terry Brooks himself has said the Lord of the Rings influenced him however I find his books more entertaining and easier to read. There is a lot of snobbery in the fantasy readers world, of course, there are similarities to Lord of the Rings as there are with many others.

Sword of Shannara Audiobook Mp3 is what I like to see in a fantasy novel. This has everything that makes the genre so appealing to me. It’s got a diverse set of races and cultural systems; it’s got both great darkness and profound good. But, most importantly, it’s got history.

Brooks develops each member of the fellowship individually, allowing you to get to know them as people outside of this life-altering and earth-shattering quest. The intertwining storylines of the characters, all heading towards the same basic end goal, was complexly compelling. Not only did it keep the plot moving but it also let me get to know everyone in their own manner.

I’d would recommend this book. And now, I’m about to start the Elfstones of Shannara.
