Customer Reviews

Great!

The very friend who recommended the whole Deltora series actually was not too fond of this trilogy, but I love the darker tone and the sheer creativity of the mysterious Shadowlands. I love the concept and the tragedy of the Shadowlands and I think that Rodda brings out some of her best writing and ideas.

An extraordinary climax to an extraordinary series

'There was a sudden, terrifying stillness. A bleak, bitter smell. A rapid, thumping sound, very close, mingled with the moaning wail of wind. And Lief opened his stinging eyes, took his first, gasping breath, in the Shadowlands.' from THE SHADOWLANDS, by EMILY RODDA. This extraordinary conclusion to the DELTORA SHADOWLANDS trilogy will blow you away! Lief, Barda and Jasmine acquire the third part of the Pirran Pipe easily enough, then they must face the dreaded Shadowlands. Will the slaves be freed? It all hangs by a thread in this masterful book by a talented writer.

the deltora classic

This book is the conclusion to the Deltora Shadowlands series,which is the follow-up to the Deltora Quest series, and it most definetly won't dissapoint any Deltora fans, or any fantasy fans who are interested, although you should read all the Deltora's (both the Quest and the rest of the Shadowlands series) before starting this one, as you need to know all the information that they contain if you want to keep up. It starts off as Lief, Barda, and Jasmine leave the island of Auron to proceed to their last stop, the island of Keras. The Kerans, suprisingly, turn out to be the easiest of all of the three groups to get the pipe from, as they agree to lend the three heoros the third part of the mystical Pirran Pipe, agreeing to lend them it in exange for an item, which, to the shock of his companions, Lief seems eager to give. Why is Lief so willing to give the Kerans such a important magical item? The answer could go deeper than you might think. Finally, the three companions proceed to the shadowlands, but with an extra person along the way, who will, for obious reasons, play a huge role in this conclution. As the last hope for the imprisoned Deltorans proceed through the strange, dangerous Shadowlands, many secrects are revealed regarding Lief, Jasmine, Marilen, and Faith. Just like in Deltora Quest, all the clues which seem to point to nothing, add up to the final secret that very few know, and, also like Deltora Quest, you'll be doing two things after reading this book: Kicking yourself and begging for more, as everything from all the Deltora's add up to an amazing ending.
