Lief, Barda and Jasmine travel to the emerald isle of Keras. The Pipe is their only chance of saving the thousands of Deltorans enslaved in the Shadowlands, for it is said to be the only thing the Shadow Lord fears in his own domain. But can the Pipe be made whole? And if it can, will its ancient magic still prevail against the enemy's sorcery? Or are the companions walking into a trap? Lief, Barda and Jasmine are filled with doubts but they move on, knowing that whatever happens, their quest will end in the darkness and horror of the Shadowlands itself.

The Belt of Deltora has been remade and the King of Deltora restored to the throne but all is not well in the land of Deltora. The people are frightened for their loved ones who are held prisoner in the Shadowlands. Lief wants to rescue them but fears he cannot unless he can find a weapon to defeat the Shadow Lord - or at least buy them enough time to get everyone out.
But he is heartened to find that the Head Librarian, Josef has returned to the palace and has brought with him a treasure thought destroyed - the Deltora Annals - books about the history of Deltora, the legends and myths and adventures that may contain a clue.
One such tale is that of the Pirran Pipe said to be broken apart and scattered over the hidden islands of the Pirran people. Lief, Jasmine and Barda set out to find the truth.
Like The Isle of Illusion, The Shadowlands picks up immediately follow the previous book's ending. Lief, Jasmine and Barda have recovered two parts of the Pirran Pipe and are headed towards the location of their third task, the island of Keras.
Like the first two book, the narrative is fast paced and packed with action and adventure. The plot is littered with magic and monsters and the mighty quest to free the prisoners in the Shadowlands and it was good.
The Keras are won over pretty easily - they only ask for an item most precious to be handed over in exchange until the Pipe is returned to them.
So three become four and Barda is back to playing nursemaid;
Barda ran his hands through his tousled hair in despair. ‘Three of them,’ he muttered under his breath. ‘Three young hot-heads. By the heavens, were not two bad enough?’
Emily Rodda. DQ2 #3: SHADOWLANDS . Scholastic. Kindle Edition.
The journey into the Shadowlands is beset by danger but they manage to find a few friends in some unexpected places.
I was glad that Lief and Jasmine sort themselves out but their drama was ridiculous and irritating. I did like that
A satisfying conclusion to the Pirran Pipe trilogy. 5 stars. ( )
