The Druid of Shannara by Terry Brooks
3.0
Better than expected! The messiah figure is fascinating because she has the power to compel people to do things and heal things, but at the same time she is human or at least has an intriguing relationship to her humanness. I was completely taken with how complex the assassin character is, and I like the allusions to the ancient ruins that seem like New York City.
One big question I have: what's the point of Carisman? He was magical, but it wasn't really explained how or what his magic was, and then *spoiler alert* he gets killed almost randomly and very few of the characters seem to care at all. His purpose in the book was very obscure. Does he come up again in the later books of the series?
