High Druid of Shannara: Straken

     So, this is like my first ever post. I'm a very voracious reader and just a few weeks ago, I finished Terry Brooks's Straken. I didn't actually buy a copy of it. Ehehe.....I downloaded a PDF File (is that illegal?).


     Here's a picture of it: (the book)

    I'm not totally an illegal person because I bought the predecessor of this book, "Tanequil", and I enjoyed it a lot! I really tried to buy this one but I just couldn't seem to find it so I......you know...
  
   Straken is the third book in the High Druid of Shannara trilogy by Terry Brooks. It's all about a young boy named Pen who tries to rescue his aunt, Grianne Ohmsford, rightful High Druid of Shannara. Of course he also has friends who help him and in order to save her, he must find the fabled "Tanequil." All the books in the trilogy are all about his quest to save Grianne Ohmsford. That is, they're all connected with each other and Straken is the final book.


   This book is absolutely AMAZING! There's lots of action and thrilling parts. Plus, Terry Brooks has a way of making you get soooo excited but he doesn't let you know what's going to happen till the kind of like last parts. I never got bored with this book. Usually, well sometimes, there are parts in a book which you just like to skip away (no offense but i kind of felt that in the Harry Potter books...don't get mad I'm a big fan!) I mean like the tension really builds up 'till the last part. I'm not so good with words and expressing my opinions...so yeah...I totally recommend you to read this. Hopefully I'll improve and make my reviews a lot more informative....hehe

in recognizing how to use it.”  -Straken, p.228
