As a reviewing reader, I still find its disgusting for a writer to flame his own readers merely over a critisizing feedback. NOTE: Fine, now thats cleared up, but the star sticks.

And that is also the problem with this novel. There are multiple storylines going that keep the plot moving.

This novel has the grandest scope written by this author. ![]() This trilogy is the darkest written by Terry Brooks as the characters sacrifice for the greater good and not all of them survive. This book tells about their battles as they race trying to prevent the Forbidding merging with ours. In this one everything looks grim for our heroes as they are separated and each facing troubles that seem insurmountable.

Terry Brooks was born in Illinois in 1944, where he spent a great deal of his childhood and early adulthood dreaming up stories in and around Sinnissippi Park, the very same park that would eventually become the setting for his bestselling Word & Void trilogy. Meanwhile, Railing Ohmsford-desperate to save his imprisoned brother-seeks to discover if his famed but ill-fated ancestor Grianne is still alive and willing to help him save the world. Only her determined sister, Aphen, who bears the Elfstones and commands their magic, has any hope of saving Arling from the hideous fate her captor has in store. But when she falls into the hands of the powerful Federation’s diabolical Prime Minister, her efforts may be doomed. Young Elf Arling Elessedil possesses the enchanted means to close the breach and once more seal the denizens of the Forbidding in their prison. But now the unthinkable is happening: The ancient wards securing the barrier between order and mayhem have begun to erode-and generations of bloodthirsty, monstrous creatures, fueled by a rage thousands of years in the making, are poised to spill forth, seeking revenge for what was done to them. For centuries the Four Lands enjoyed freedom from its demon-haunted past, protected by magic-enhanced borders from the dark dimension known as the Forbidding and the profound evil imprisoned there.
