Narration Concering Books Bloodfire Quest (The Dark Legacy of Shannara #2)
For the first time in his career, Terry will be publishing a book every six months from the start to end of this series: here is the second in a brand-new trilogy, following The Wards of Faerie, in the New York Times bestselling Shannara universe! Long ago, many dangerous creatures were locked behind a magical barrier, bringing peace and prosperity to the land. But now those barriers are eroding, and generations of embittered prisoners are about to escape. War seems inevitable . . . unless a few brave souls can stem the tide. While some venture into the forbidden lands, others must undertake a perilous quest—a quest whose success will mean the death of a young girl who has barely even begun to live, but whose failure will have unimaginable consequences. From riveting start to cliffhanger ending, this is an epic for the ages!Rating Out Of Books Bloodfire Quest (The Dark Legacy of Shannara #2)

Bloodfire Quest picks up where Wards of Faerie left off. The quest to find the missing Elfstones has hit a serious snag some of quest members are trapped in the desolate Forbidding with a scary assortment of dangerous creatures. The others remain in the Four Lands, besieged by vicious predators and unable to find a way to rescue their friends. Meanwhile, back in Arborlan, the Ellcrys communicates to one of her Chosen that she is dying. Unlike Amberle in The Elfstones of Shannara, this ChosenThis book did not progress much from the first one and felt like ground already covered. I will read the next one because of the characters.
I was hesitant to buy this novel after the first book in the Dark Legacy series, which I didn't enjoy due to poor characterisation, lack of originality and a mind-numbingly slow pace. However, I found 'The Bloodfire Quest' a pleasant surprise. Although the book does have a few too many similarities to the Elfstones of Shannara, I found this book a lot more exciting, darker and faster paced than the last.The highlights of this book for me (without spoilers) were:- some exciting, well-written
Hope this is just an issue of being the middle book of a trilogy but i didn't enjoy this one very much.

The Shanara series was my first introduction to fantasy. I read the first one while in high school and loved it. But I am thinking that this series need to come to an end, especially as the author is starting to recycle his own story lines, not once, but twice. We once again need a new Elcrys and are back in the forbidding. I loved the first book with the Elcrys, was shocked to learn just what it to for the tree to be reborn, the second time around, not so much. The same can be said with the
This series is much better than the preceding two (High Druid of Shannara and Legends of Shannara). However, there's still too much repetition in the story, characters, situations, settings for me to rate it better than three stars. I'm enjoying it, but feels too familiar. Another complaint I have with this volume in particular is that the story doesn't move along that much. There's a lot of filler here, interesting, but filler none the less. I feel that this volume served the only purpose of
