A review by waden34
The Talismans of Shannara by Terry Brooks

2.0

This is one of the most disappointing anti-climactic ends to a series that I've ever read.
About 3/4 of the way through the book, I still had no idea why anyone was doing what they were doing. There was no purpose to any of it.
There was far too many people getting captured and released, then captured and released again throughout this series. It got old in the first book and was more irritating in this one.
And the ending... what the hell. Let's not tie anything together really, we'll just explain it all away and go on.
The only saving grace this book had was in the growth of the characters. It was fairly well done and did make me want to continue reading. (Aside from Morgan who seems to fall in love with any available woman...)
