A review by sparksofember
The Sword of Shannara by Terry Brooks

2.0

Too Lord-of-the-Rings ripoff but apparently that was what the publisher demanded at the time. It wasn't bad - just very long and I don't tend to like epic-journey stories. It got more interesting once things started to actually happen. I don't really get why Shea was so special and the only one who could use the sword - seems a bit shortsighted of his people, imo. I've heard the series gets more interesting and less LOTR in the sequel.
