A review by jkutterer
The Stiehl Assassin by Terry Brooks

3.0

I think there was a little more originality in this book than the last two (which just reused the same conflicts as previous books on the series), but it still felt lacking. There were some good surprises and I like the way the characters are treated, but the plot still felt like it kind of meandered its way along.

One thing that really frustrated me was the last chapter. It almost felt like Brooks ran out of pages and had to just quickly spit out what should have been a much more thrilling end to the book.

I was still entertained while reading and am still intrigued as to how everything will wrap up in the final book, but I hope that Brooks is able to break free of his previous stories and write a truly new, gripping conclusion to the Shannara saga.
