Customer Reviews

Again, another great novel by Terry Brooks.

The best book of the series, I loved every word of it. This book has everything. I loved how old enemies became friends, old friends became new enemies, and how everything wound itself together so much that there was nothing else for the end but one climatic explosion throwing you for loops you never expected. Half the time I spent reading this book I was in total shock from the surprise of not knowing what was going to happen next. You could not end any series of novels better than Terry Brooks did with this one. This was as great book and a must read, you will really enjoy it if you like the magical and suspenceful elements of fantasy novels as much as I do.

Left Hanging

I really enjoyed this book but I would REALLY like to know what happened to the witch and if she got out of the zoo. I hope that if Mr. Brooks reads this that he'll decide to write at least one more book and add it to the series.

Witches' Brew, the best fantasy book of its kind

This book gave me chills the second time I read it, let alone the first! I liked it because it reads smoothly, has suspence, and over all just a good story. It normally takes me two to three weeks to read a book of this size, but i finished this one in 2 days. I couldn't put the book down. I hope that Terry Brooks comes out with some more books in this series. (I might even have to spend the money to get a hardcover)

Awesome! What more could you want!?!

This book is one of the best of Brooks' Landover series. It has the same mystical, adventurous feeling as the first four books and also adds a wide variety of creatures and things set against lawyer Ben Holiday. This is a must read for those enjoy Brooks' other hits. This book is a milestone in the advancement of fantasy writing. Terry Brooks knows how to write, I can tell you that!

Great book. Need to read the "Tangle Box" first.

Book Five of the Landover series by Terry Brooks. Plays off the ending of Brooks' last landover book -The Tangle Box-. The story line: A King from another land outside of landover challenges Holiday for the crown and medallion of Landover. Holiday refuses and his daughter Mystaya is kidnapped. Holiday must accept the chasllenge if he is to get his daughter back. The challenge is he must defeat 7 creatures sent to kill him. What he doesn't know is that his daughter is unaware she has been kidnapped and is helping create the monsters sent to kill her father. In the end Holiday and her daughter both figure out what is secretely happening and expose the truth. To give more detail would ruin the book. Read it if you liked the Tangle Box!
