A review by romankurys
The Druid of Shannara by Terry Brooks
4.0
Having read Part of of the Series I kind of had an idea of what to expect.
Glad to say the book did not disappoint.
Pretty good darn story takes over where Par and Coll leave in Scions of Shannarah and follows Morgan Leah and Walker Boh along their quest to restore Paranor to its former glory.
I really enjoy adventuring in the world of the Four Lands and this book is no exception. In fact I feel Brooks gets better and better with each book.
The only reason it's a 4 and not a 5 stars is that I feel like in any travelogue the mid point of the story it gets a little stale for me and I take a week off, effectively approaching the book as two separate parts. 420 pages of Travelogue in a row is a bit too much for me.
I want to emphasize that I enjoy Brooks writing immensely, I love his characters and I enjoy spending time in the Four Lands world he created. It's really just my preference, as I did the same with all three of Lord of the Rings, and pretty much all the Robert Jordan books I've read this far. Loved them, just needed to take a break and split them in half. Odd, am I alone here?
All in all, Im definitely reading Part 3 of the series :)
