The Sword of Shannara by Terry Brooks
Did not finish book.
DNF at 33% or so. It's a shame! I read this for a "local authors" book project in middle school, and liked it enough to read the rest of the Shannara books (including the urban-fantasy pre-pre-prequels that got awkwardly retconned in). My childhood memory said that the first books before ELFSTONES OF SHANNARA were a bit bland, but re-reading SWORD in 2022 showed me just how bland. Derivative of Lord of the Rings with very little of interest beyond that.
