Explanation Supposing Books Antrax (Voyage of the Jerle Shannara #2)
Brave explorers led by the last Druid, Walker Boh, traveled across unknown seas in search of an elusive magic. But now it seems that Walker and his team were lured there for sinister, unforeseen purposes. As the crew aboard the airship Jerle Shannara is being attacked by evil forces, the Druid's protege, Bek Rowe, and his companions are being pursued by the mysterious Ilse Witch. Meanwhile, Walker is alone, caught in a dark maze beneath the ruined city of Castledown, stalked by a hungry, unseen enemy. It is alive, but not human, coveting the magic of Druids, elves, even the Ilse Witch. It hunts men for its own designs. It is Antrax: a spirit that feeds off enchantment and traps the souls of men. And with it, the fate of the Four Lands hangs in the balance.

This second book in the Jerle Shannara trilogy is a darker tale than the first. It has the ambiance of a Science Fiction and Fantasy mix by introducing machines and computers like the first book but more so in this second novel. There were certainly surprising twists that leaves the reader dumbfounded but eager to read on. The team travels to the island that holds this mysterious magic while being pursued by the Ilse Witch in her goal to seek revenge on Walker Boh and to take possession of thisThe second entry of author Terry Brooks Voyage of the Jerle Shannara trilogy opens with backstory focusing on Grianne Ohmsford being skilled in use of the wishsong, with her childhood symbolically ending when she was six, given her rescue from the Dark Uncle, or Walker Boh, after which she becomes the Ilse Witch. In the books present time, her brother Bek calls out to her, although she still thinks her sibling is dead, and wants vengeance against the Druid Walker. Meanwhile, the shapeshifter
So far with this series I've been happy with the continuation of Walker and the way Brooks continues his character while introducing new ones. The blend of the familiar and the new is really nice and I feel like Brooks is just now getting into the blend. I was surprised when, SPOILERS, we found out there were other Ohmsford's and that part is really fun to read. Overall I'm really enjoying the series and excited for the next book.
This was such an unexpected gem. The first book started out formulaic but by the end Brooks had pulled it all together to make it a 4 star read. Typically 2nd books in trilogies are just setup books and as a result are the worst of the set. Well that does not apply to Antrax. This book started out ok and in no time at all it kicked into a higher gear than I've seen since Elfstones of Shannara. There was so much character development I had doubts this was a Shannara book at all. Brooks' books are
Antrax was much better than Isle Witch. While it still has the problems of a middle book, it leaves the reader with a sense that something was accomplished--oddly enough the very thing I felt was lacking in Isle Witch. For Brooks fans who have struggled through Isle Witch Antrax is a breath of fresh air in this trilogy. The action is much better, though still not on par with his other, earlier novels, but the phrasing and vocabulary still seem out of place for his usual writing style.The
I don't know if its both the writing and the fact that I have not gone back to reading Terry Brooks in years that made this such a fast and pleasurable read.Following the events of Isle Witch, the Druid Walker Boh finds himself trapped beneath Castledown, a fortress that is said to be where the fabled Books of Magic are housed. Retrieving these relics would mean hope for the Races of the Four Lands, as these tomes would provide helpful information to further the different Societies, from Elves,
This book is more fast-paced than the first in the series, Ilse Witch. We get to know more of the characters, Tamis and Quentin, Ahren, Ryer, and of course Bek, Truls, Grianne, and Walker. The biggest new character is terrifying and all too relate-able in our world. My only trouble with this book is I don't see how all the characters are going to remain mentally intact after going through so many horrors. Sometimes it seems that Brooks throws too much at his characters and has you wondering if
