About this audiobook
Angel Fire East brings Terry Brooks' breathtaking trilogy of the battle between good and evil to an astounding end. Begun with Running With the Demon and continued with Knight of the Word, this suspenseful fantasy epic has won popular and critical acclaim for its New York Times best-selling author. For 25 years John Ross, a Knight of the Word, has been haunted by dreams of a horrifying Armageddon. His life has become an all-consuming battle against the Void that threatens to turn his dreams into reality. Now John has discovered a newly born gypsy morph, a rare, magical creature so powerful that it could prove an invaluable tool against evil. But can he solve its mystery before the Void destroys it? Desperate, he enlists Nest Freemark, a young ally from his past. George Wilson confers the third in this series with the same level of energy that electrified the first two. Mystery and suspense abound in a fantasy novel that will remind you you're never too old to be afraid of the dark.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Better than the previous two in the trilogy, but still doesn't compare to the other Shannara books.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The last instalment of The Word and the Void trilogy. Time has moved on and Nest is now 29 and living in Hopewell. Her life is turned upside down when two old friends turn up on her doorstep with children in tow. One of those children is a gypsy morph - a being created by wild magics, wanted by both The Word and the Void. Nest and John Ross are reunited for another adventure. Fans of the series will not be disappointed!
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I found John Ross's lack of action whilst visiting Nest disturbing. The demons came across as schoolyard bullies without enough gumption to take control of the situation in spite of having an 'elite' leader and outnumbering the good guys. Sending nightmares via telephone..? Really? And Nest basically runs around like a chicken with its head cut off - lots of impulsive action with no real consequence. Baking cookies, caroling and sledding are probably not ideal activities for people in (allegedly) mortal danger. While this last volume is considerably better than the first two, it was still predictable and left threads dangling.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Excellent prequel, and a great transition from one storyline to the other.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Unlike Brooks' standard novels, this is contemporary fantasy, not set in one of his fantasy world settings. It is the 3rd book in the Word and the Void series, again featuring John Ross and Nest Freemark. John and Nest are both in Hopewell, trying to keep the mysterious Gypsy Morph away from the demons. Once again, John has been shown that the future is grim if he fails, though as usual he does not know what failure might be. Nest is drawn into the problem again as she helps John defend the morph and some old friends against the demons. In some ways, while this is fantasy fiction, it feels too likely - what if demons really are prompting people to do the horrendous things they do in real life, and what if that means the demons are winning. As usual, this is a well written story that keeps you interested until the very end, and then you want more.
