Bearers of the Black Staff by Terry Brooks
2.0
This was my introduction to Terry Brooks. I was given this book for Christmas 2010, and today I can finally say I finished it.
I gather that the Legends of Shannara duology takes place in an exaggerated post-collapse dark age distinct from the "main" series(es), but I think I have a dim understanding of the other Shannara books. Regardless, I now certainly recognize the unique charm of a fantasy story that takes place in a far-future United States.
Sadly, the story and writing and characters are all stock fantasy fare.
