Summary
An ancient evil threatens the Elves and the Races of Man. The Ellcrys, the tree of long-lost Elven magic, is dying, unravelling the spell of Forbidding that locks the hordes of Demons away from the world.
Already the fearsome Reaper is free. Only by quickening a new seed in the mysterious Bloodfire can the Ellcrys be reborn and the Forbidding made whole. Amberle, a young Elven girl, is chosen to undertake the quest for the Bloodfire.
The way is perilous, though. Other demons besides the Reaper stalk the land. Amberle will need a protector if she is to prevail, and Wil Ohmsford, heir to the Elven magics of Shannara, is chosen to accompany her.
Amberle's quest and the fate of the Four Lands will rest on Wil's ability to unlock the magic of the mysterious Elfstones of Shannara.
The Elfstones of Shannara is the second volume of the classic series that has become one of the best loved fantasy tales of all time.

Better tan first book
More enjoyable than the first book in the series which was a poor copy of the lord of the rings plot. The second book has encouraged me to carry on with the series but am not a fan of the narrator who has an overly emotional, sing-song style that I find really annoying. Will take a break and listen to something by the excellent Simon Vance, Michael Kramer or Kate Reading.

I know people love it but...
I know people love this series but I just can't get into them. I think they're alright i just think they're very similar to books like the lord of the rings etc. normally I can get through an audio book while I'm working in 2-3 days. this one took me 2 weeks to get through.
the narrator is great i just found the book a bit repetitive.
the first in the series was alright so I thought I'd try this but I wish I hadn't wasted my token, they're just not for me 😔

Occasionally a bit simplistic for me
Story is good enough if a little simple in parts. It feels like the peril is solved a bit too easily for my taste.
It won't stop me wordlessly reading the next book wordlessly though.
