Witches' Brew (Magic Kingdom of Landover Series #5)

Very Highly recommended....

I got hooked on Brooks in the late 80's, and read everything he wrote thru the 90's. He is a writer for male and female, and even high school kids.

I still have the whole Shannara Series, and the landover. Once you start reading you will not want to stop until you read the last book in the series.

I Liked It!...

Nightshade seeks revenge through Mistaya for what happened between her and Ben, as the Lady and the Knight when they were imprisoned in the Tangle Box.
Mistaya is not the daughter Ben imagined he would have. She grows at an unpredictable rate, and she's a genius when it comes to learning, talking, and magic.
An unknown conqueror, (he calls himself a king), throws a gauntlet down and challenges Ben. He claims to have come from beyond the fairy mists, and he demands the unconditional surrender of Landover.
Rydall, king of Marhhull will send seven monsters to battle Ben. Ben has to live through and win all seven battles in order to save his life and his throne.
Questor and Abernathy are saved from an interfering magic, when they are attacked by Nightshade. A result of which is that Abernathy is turned back to a man. He realizes how deeply he wants to be returned back to his all man form. Because now Questor doesn't think that he can convince him to return to the king's service. Abernathy will be forced to choose between Landover and himself, and Questor will be stuck out of Landover if Abernathy chooses to stay and live a normal human life.
Mistaya is excited that she can do magic. Nightshade teaches Mistaya how to do magic, while using her too not only fight and defeat her father, but to kill him too.
In the meantime, Ben and Willow desperately search for Mistaya all over Landover, because Rydall has kidnapped her. Following closely behind them are Ben's seven battles, and he fears becoming the Paladin more and more will destroy his soul and take away his humanity.

A good book if nothing to do

I liked reading this book but I hadn't read any of the other Landover novels so it was a bit confusing but still a great book. I fyou want to read it I think you should start from the beginning of the series.

Best of Landover

Much more interesting than the previous four, the plot entertained me more, and I loved the character of Ben's daughter. The only fault is that Mistaya is a little too sophisticated for a four-year-old. A great book overall.

Action-filled, with Intense Plot.

Although it doesn't touch the Shannaras, I feel it is the best of the Magic Kingdom of Landover Series. It really puts a twist to it when Nightshade uses Ben's own daughter against him.
