Publisher Description
New York Times bestselling author Terry Brooks became the master of epic fantasy with the publication of his legendary debut, The Sword of Shannara. Since then, each new novel in the Shannara saga has brilliantly built upon and deepened the world of breathtaking magic, adventure, and intrigue he created. In The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara—his third enchanting series—he literally took his legions of loyal readers soaring to new heights as a colorful contingent of characters took to the skies aboard a magnificent airship on a quest fraught with wonder and danger. Now in Morgawr, the quest at last draws to its climactic conclusion, as the forces of good and evil vying against each other to possess an ancient magic race towards an explosive clash—and whatever fate awaits the victor . . . and the vanquished. Harrowing confrontations with the merciless Ilse Witch and the monstrous Antrax have already taken their toll on the intrepid heroes of the Four Lands. But their darkest adversary now snaps at their heels, in the form of the Morgawr—master of the Ilse Witch, feeder upon the souls of his enemies, and centuries-old sorcerer of unimaginable might. With a fleet of airships and a crew of walking dead men at his command, the Morgawr is in relentless pursuit of the Jerle Shannara and the crew that mans her. For the Morgawr, the goal is two fold: to find and control the fabled ancient books of magic, and to destroy the dark disciple who betrayed him—the Ilse Witch. But the Ilse Witch is already a prisoner . . . of herself. Exposed to the awesome power of the Sword of Shannara, and forced to confront the truth of her horrifying deeds, she has fled deep into her own mind. Now at the mercy of those who seek vengeance against her, her only protector is her long-lost brother, Bek Ohmsford, who is determined to redeem his beloved sister . . . and deliver her to the destiny predicted for her by the Druid Walker Boh. Once again, Terry Brooks weaves together high adventure, vividly wrought characters, and a spellbinding world into an irresistible story of heroism and sacrifice, love and honor. In Morgawr, fans of the Shannara mythos will find both a satisfying finale and the promise of new wonders yet to come.

"I believe I have rated all of Terry Brooks's books a 4. They are all enjoyable and an easy read. This whole series was just a large book broken down into 3 books. It had action and plot development. You know it was heading towards a big and hopefully climatic ending but in the space of a partial chapter it was all over. Anticlimatic to say the least. So much more could have been done with the ending but in reality it is the end of this series which lends its way to the next series which I will read as I like his books."

The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara: Morgawr Listener Reviews
-
" Morgawr (The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara, Book 3) by Terry Brooks (2002) "
— Jenn, 2/14/2014 -
" I first read the Voyage of the Jerle Shannara before I read any other, this was my first introduction to Terry Brooks world. It was very good, I was pulled right into it and read through it with building interest. I would consider this series the combined best of what Terry Brooks has to offer. If you don't want to read all the 15+ books than start here and you will still get a good sense for Terry Brooks and what he has accomplished. "
— Cuinn, 2/7/2014 -
" The final book in the series is a good ending, but I think I still preferred the first two for overall story. All in all, a good read, though. Fun series. "
— Ruth, 2/4/2014 -
" Several mini-adventures move this book along quickly, with plenty of plot-tension, and a satisfying conclusion "
— Sarah, 1/31/2014 -
" Fitting conclusion to the Voyage of the Jerle Shannara triology. Fun reads like this hide the craft behind the story. Brooks is one of the best. "
— Peter, 1/28/2014 -
" i am going to say this was the most gruesome of the Shannara books and i've read them all except the High Druid Council books and the Word and Demon books. i liked it but it really disturbed me on some level. and i hated the ending. "
— Yolanda, 1/26/2014 -
" A good blending of magic and modern science. This is a great shift into how the old world "our modern world" interacts with our favorite heros. The war between free-born and federation is still used to create conflict, but magic vs. the ancient world is enough to make this series a good read. "
— David, 1/19/2014 -
" Brooks has really grown in his writing skills. He weaves a great story that I don't want to put down! "
— John, 1/17/2014 -

— Mia, 11/30/2012 -
" As I have read the Voyage of Jerle Shannara quite late, i didnt have the opportunity to buy this copy when it was released. That's why when I saw Morgawr in a bookstore, I immediately grabbed a copy. And it was all worth it. A great finish to the Jerle Shannara Trilogy. "
— Jeffrey, 11/16/2012 -
" 1200 pages for the whole series. A little disappointing how many main characters get killed off. Maybe a correlation between the two? "
— Brian, 10/21/2012 -

" An excellent conclusion to the trilogy; things may have been wrapped up too nicely for some, but I like my stories like that these days. There might have been a couple of threads that tied themselves up too neatly, but this is a tale of fantasy, after all ... "
