An ancient evil is stirring, intent on the complete destruction of all life. The Druid Allanon sets out on a dangerous journey to save the world, reluctantly aided by Brin Ohmsford, daughter of Wil Ohmsford??for she alone holds the magic power of the wishsong. But a prophecy foretells doom, as evil nurses its plan to trap the unsuspecting Brin into a fate far more horrible than death.

Questo terzo volume della trilogia inizia esattamente come i primi due. Allanon va dagli Ohmsford e convince l'erede di turno - Brin - a seguirlo per salvare il mondo dal Male del momento, il libro che raccoglie tutta la magia nera, l'Illidatch.

La differenza rispetto ai primi due romanzi sta sostanzialmente nella sfiga della Compagnia, che viene decimata. Far finire un'era (e una trilogia) è un lavoraccio, devi ammazzare un sacco di personaggi. Sarà per questo che le "Compagnie" questa volta sono due...

Lo stile di Terry Brooks è sempre lo stesso: E allora captò lentamente la presenza di qualcosa, qualcosa di terribile, un'entità così maligna che la sua sola presenza bastava a permeare l'aria di paura. Qualsiasi cosa fosse, sembrava essere dappertutto, un orrendo mantello nero che avvolgeva la casa degli Ohmsford come un sudario. Un essere, sussurrò la sua mente, un essere oscuro. Tutto fumo e niente arrosto: tutti questi aggettivi hanno un devastante effetto soporifero (e allora si cominciano a contare la pagine che ci separano dall'agognata fine...).

I personaggi rimangono privi di approfondimento e piatti, senza vita, senza forza. Sarebbe stato meglio avere meno personaggi, ma sufficientemente approfonditi...

La narrazione va avanti a forza di descrizioni poco evocative, "colpi di scena" (molti già visti in precedenza, ma presentati con condimento diverso) e introduzioni di personaggi/mostri più o meno significativi.

A questo giro la parte del protagonista-oh-ma-quanti-problemi-mi-faccio tocca a Brin: visti i suoi pensieri catastrofici, nessuno può stupirsi di ciò che le accade alla fine... mai sentito parlare di pensiero positivo? Inizia a pensare che non ce la farà prima ancora di partire...

Al contrario di lei, il fratello minore Jair è una macchina di positività (e nessuno gli crede quando prova ad abbattersi). Dentro di sé sa che ci sarà sempre qualcuno disposto a salvargli il c*** (e infatti, puntualmente...).

E, infine, abbiamo l'innamorato pazzo - di Brin - Rone Leah, discendente del vecchio Menion del primo volume. In realtà, dal suo comportamento non si direbbe che sia così innamorato, ma Brin una volta pensa che lo sia e tanto dovrebbe bastarci (ehi, lettore, come mai pretendi che lo scrittori ti mostri che Rone è innamorato di Brin?). Poi il potente sentimento viene di nuovo fuori alla fine, quando i due si ritrovano, innamorati persi (o meglio, Rone la guarda con gli occhi da pesce lesso innamorato). Tutto qui. Nelle restanti pagine non c'è nessun cenno ai loro sentimenti.

Il cattivo è un libro di magia nera. Le sue parole - sì, il libro parla - sono tentatrici come quelle di un allievo di Satana rimandato a settembre. Non avrebbero convinto a passare dalla sua parte nemmeno il malvagio più incallito. Quindi ci si meraviglia di tutti i danni che è riuscito a fare... ma, d'altro canto, i cattivi libri hanno sempre pessimi effetti sulle menti dei lettori... ( )

The 3rd book in original Shannara.

I think it is time for me to move on...I wanted this book to be good-it did not have to be great, just good. I am stretching myself giving this book three stars. It may be, as I said that it is just time for me to move on to another author for a while. I do want to, at some point, continue reading the series. I have hopes that at some point Brook's editor reigned him in and cut out the massive amount of adjectives that slogged this book down for me. ( )

Rounding out Brook's original Shannara trilogy, we have the Wishsong of Shannara.

Wil Ohmsford, in the quest for the Ellcrys, wielded the seeking stones to defend Amberle. Yet he was far more human than Elven, and the stones did not always work for him. In desperation he sought within himself for what had made the stones work before- and the seeking stones responded...

His children were born with part of the ancient magic of the original Elves, the Elves the seeking stones knew as Elves. The wishsong; wish for it, sing for it, and it is yours. Jair, his son, can use it to create illusions limited only by his imagination that seem completely real until his singing stops. But his sister, Brin, has the true magic of the wishsong- she truly changes things, not just their appearance.

Allanon, aged by the battle with the Demons of the Forbidding, comes to the Ohmsford home seeking the magic of Brin to destroy the Illdatch; a sentient tome of evil from Faerie that once created the Warlock Lord and now has birthed the Mord Wraiths, the black walkers. Only Brin can reach and destroy the book. But Allanon does not know everything.

At the end, Brin gives up her magic to destroy the ancient evil of the Illdatch, but bequeaths to her progeny a sacred trust in Allanon's blood against the future need of the Four Lands. Here too we see the end of Steel Jans, and the creation of the Sword of Leah.

Surprisingly and uncharacteristically dark for Shannara, this book is tonally more in line with Brook's Knights of the Word. It completes the Elfstones of Shannara in a satisfying way, I recommend reading them as a pair. ( )

Listened to audio narrated by Scott Brick. Allanon takes Brin to use her magic to help him retrieve the power source of the wraiths, her brother ends up on a quest to save her. Epic tales to save the world from evil.

Boekbeschrijving
Opeens is hij weer terug: de Druïde Allanon, dezelfde man die Shea hielp de Tovervorst te verslaan in Het Zwaard van Shannara en die Wil Ohmsford overhaalde om mee te gaan op de zoektocht naar een remedie voor de stervende elfenboom in De elfenstenen van Shannara.

Hij komt voor de liefelijke Brin Ohmsford, die – net als haar broer - de macht kent van het wenslied: een eeuwenoude elfenmagie. Voor Brin is het slechts een speeltje, maar Allanon ziet hierin de enige kans om de even oude bron van kwaad, de Ildatch te vernietigen.

De Ildatch is een demonisch boek dat door zijn corrumperende invloed Allanons vader in de Zwarte Tovervorst veranderde. Nu bedreigt het heel Shannara...
