The Gypsy Morph (Genesis of Shannara #3)

The Gypsy Morph wraps up the Genesis of Shannara trilogy quite nicely. As Hawk realizes his powers and accepts what he is and what he need to do, all the moving pieces of the book seem to be drawing together. When the various groups merge there are some missing, some unexpected additions, and a long road ahead of them. This book was all about journies – physical and emotional. So many strings come together in one giant knot and Terry Brooks manages to unravel and lay them out before you in nice even rows. Logan Tom gets to face off with \”his\” demon, and I see the bloodlines that appear in so many of books finding their beginnings. I once again loved seeing how the land of Shannara was created, and while I hated losing some characters, their loss made the saving of so many others mean that much more. As the last pages unfolded, I found myself excited to see the end/beginning and sad to watch it all go and leave it behind. And the end was quite spectacular. On the downside, there were quite a few little errors in punctuation and a lot in capitalization.

I guess this was one of the series that I had NOT read or maybe it just had not been written when I thought I had read everything else of his at least 4 times. I think this was pretty good but it probably isn\’t fair for me to rate it. I have had a traumatic brain injury and I can\’t even tell u what the first book was about. Having said that I don\’t think you can go wrong reading anything from Terry. I did read the next series \”Magic Kingdom of Landover\” probably 30 or 40 years ago but sadly I cannot remember much about it. I hope you never suffer a traumatic brain injury.

I purchased this wonderful book from amazon,com for my kindle. I love my kindle and I love amazon.com. I have read this great book several times and enjoyed more the second time…I recommend you read this trilogy in sequence: Armaggedon\’s Children (genesis of Shanara Trilogy), The Elves of Cintra (Pre Shannara) and The Gypsy Morph (Pre Shannara). The Gypsy Morph pulls you into this drama from the very first page. It is a tapestry of carefully woven intrigue, high adventure, pure evil and pure love. It contains a sweet romance and one romance that is sweet, pure and tragic. There are several contingents working seperately to bring about one huge effort. One is guided by Angel Perez a Ward Of The Word and possessor of the Black Staff. She wields great magic and power with this staff and therefore is leader of one of the groups. Helen Rice is of great support to Angel. Logan Tom is another Ward Of The Word and is helping guide another group. Then you have Hawk who has been there from the beginning and while he is the \”Father\” of a group of children but is not much older that his Wards. He learns on this strange odyssey who he is and where he came from. Then you have at the beginning of this third part Will who is the last survivor in an underground millitary installation that houses missiles with warheads enough to destroy not only foriegn sites but parts of the United States. He tells his story that is heart breaking and final decision and how it effects this great movement of people and brings this story to a rather unexpected end. all the while these children and adults and other beings that morphed into creatures and half humans that never before existed. All these changes in atmosphere and the poisoning of the earth have come together for the complere obliteration of what we know as Earth. The mission of these leaders is to lead all these people and others to a safe haven where they will be protected until the Earth regenerates itself. This is a very good read and will keep you entertained for ma y an hour. i highly recommend this trilogy. Terrt Brooks never disappoints. He is one of the great authors. Bookwormstc Dorothy Dempsey

This is the third book in the Genesis of Shannara trilogy. It starts off with Wills in an underground bunker; he\’s the last one alive and has the power to set off devastating nuclear bombs. Then the story will pickup where the second book left off. Angel and Logan will fend off many demons to keep the Ghosts and others safe while Hawk, the gypsy morph, leads a large caravan of misfits to a safe refuge. The world is going to be destroyed and rebuilt and the misfits on his caravan are the only survivors. In this book a couple characters you\’ve grown to love will die and others will go off on their own. Love will be found within the Ghosts and a new life will be made. Logan will get to face his wish, fight the demon that killed his family and he\’ll discover something else along the way that he didn\’t know he had; love. Panther will discover love as well. This is a moving book just like the first two, the deaths are heartfelt and the decisions made by some are frustrating. Like the first two books, I enjoyed and looked forward to what was happening with the Ghosts more than any other characters. What a neat little family this bunch of kids are. As for the ending, it\’s clear once Hawk learns he is the gypsy morph that he\’ll have to sacrifice at some point to save all these people. I wasn\’t prepared for the ending, it was good though. I would have liked to know how many years passed after the final destruction of the world. I look forward to reading the Word and Void trilogy and am curious as to the rest of the Shannara series. I\’d like it if the book that\’s supposed to be next picked up closer to where this leaves off. But I\’m afraid from reading the reviews for First King of Shannara it will take place many years later and those characters that I\’ve loved will all be gone. Either way, this is an excellent trilogy and hard to put down. It\’s a must read.

O livro contm trechos lindos, como a descrio que a Angel faz do ser humano. A histria bem composta e interessante. Concluiu bem a trilogia.
