A review by mcfade28
The Elf Queen of Shannara by Terry Brooks
4.0
This 3rd entry in the Heritage of Shanara series was actually pretty good and I enjoyed it much more than the previous 2 books. This one entirely ignores the very tedious plot of the second novel,and instead focuses on Wren, a minor character from the previous books.
Wren is a relative of our other main characters, and has been charged with the task of bringing elves back to the land. This is a bit of a questing novel, and much of the novel is taken up with Wren traveling to a distant land, and hunting for the elves. I found the world building more interesting here than in the other novels, and liked many of the characters introduced here ( particularly Stresa and the Owl). Wren herself is a refreshing breath of fresh air, and I liked her resourcefulness.
All in all I hope this tone can be maintained as I begin the final novel of the set.
