The Wishsong of Shannara Audiobook Free by Terry Brooks

The Wishsong of Shannara Audiobook is an epic fantasy book by American writer Terry Brooks. It is the final audio in the Original Shannara Trilogy, with the other two being The Sword of Shannara and The Elfstones of Shannara.

Once again focusing on the descendants of Jerle Shannara, the third story focuses on Brin and Jair Ohmsford. They are the children of Wil and Eretria Ohmsford, and they soon encounter our favorite brooding druid Allanon. The siblings, each possessing an inherited magic, must save the Four Lands from the evil magic within a tome called the Ildatch.

A great ending to the Trilogy that started the world of Shannara. This sure was a great read, and I am happy that Terry Brooks decided to follow his gut and write it.

Plot Summary

Horror stalks the Four Lands. The Ildatch, ancient source of evil, has stirred to life. It sends its foul Mord Wraiths to make war on all living things and bring about, at last, Mankind’s destruction.

Once again Allanon, Druid Protector of the Races, must seek the help of a descendant of the Elven King, Jerle Shannara. Brin, daughter of Wil Ohmsford, has been born with the magic of the Wishsong, which alone can open a way to the Ildatch.

Reluctantly, she joins Allanon on his perilous journey east. Meanwhile, her younger brother, Jair, learns that Brin will fail and die unless he can reach her in time. As Brin walks blindly into the trap the Ildatch has set, Jair’s only hope of reaching her in time is to travel through the very heart of evil…

Audiobook Review

This is Terry Brooks’ true masterpiece in my eyes, and still my personal favorite in the Shannara series. I would actually place Wishsong of Shannara Audiobook Mp3 in the top three within the fantasy genre, and it even had a scene that put a tear in my eye.

Mr. Brooks audiobooks have similar storylines or seemingly recycled characters, but I find that he captures my imagination each time, despite this. His books work for me because they are good against evil, and he sends his characters on impossible missions and they overcome through self-sacrifice and love. Characters are developed thoroughly and the story is fast-paced. There is enough romance, danger, mystery, and magic to keep me re-listening to this book.

Overall a well-written conclusion to the original trilogy, although it lacks Brook’s usual wrap-up of the post-drama character’s lives. I believe he was already setting the stage for the next set, The Scions of Shannara.

Highly recommended to all Shannara fan.
