Praise for The Darkling Child

Brimming with magic . . . a bubbling cauldron of fantasy and intrigue. This novel shines best through a full-bodied embrace of its most wildly imaginative magic and artifice, which is careful not to overshadow the storys greater half, fueled by a complex but well-constructed manifold of motives. The intrigue, grounded in a world that strays just enough from a traditional fantasy universe to elicit delighted curiosity, guarantees a solid fantasy read, especially for those already drawn into Brookss vast world of Shannara.Booklist

Brookss fans and those who prefer their fantasy on a smaller scale will appreciate the more personal but still high-stakes turn in this famous world.Publishers Weekly
