Rezensionen

“Wards of Faerie” by Terry Brooks is a captivating start to the Dark Legacy of Shannara trilogy. Set in the richly detailed world of the Four Lands, the story follows the determined Elven Druid, Aphenglow Elessedil, on her quest to recover the legendary Elfstones. After discovering a reference to these powerful artifacts in an ancient diary, Aphenglow becomes resolute in her mission to find them before they fall into the wrong hands. The narrative is filled with thrilling action scenes, including a climactic confrontation between airships and magic.

The characters in “Wards of Faerie” are well-developed and engaging. Aphenglow is a strong and relatable protagonist, driven by a sense of duty and a desire to protect her world. She is joined by a diverse group of allies, including her Elven relation, Ard Rhys Khyber Elessedil, and the twins Railing and Redden Ohmsford, who wield the magic of the wishsong. The antagonist, Drust Chazhul, adds a layer of intrigue and tension with his treacherous plans to destroy the magic-using Druids.

As with the previous three volumes, I feel like Brooks spends too much time in the first half of the book just telling us things. It’s not until the midpoint that he begins to show and use dialog more effectively.

I was not overwhelmed by the Sword of Shannara, but wanted to give the original trilogy a solid try. The first fifth of Elfstones was...clunky. Chunky. I am glad I pushed on. Once we got past the initial introduction of the quest, the book was fairly fast-paced. Still awkward in places, but a fun/quick read.

Really 3.5 stars, but I chose to round down. My biggest issue with this freshman novel by Brooks is that he hadn’t learned to show instead of telling yet. I admit, I wasn’t surprised by the heavy borrows from Tolkien, but (and this is why I marked it spoilerly) I can’t help but wonder if Goodkind didn’t in turn borrow heavily from Brooks with his Sword of Truth. Either that or the Sword of Shannara gets around.
