A review by ultimatumman
The Sword of Shannara by Terry Brooks

4.0

I have been reluctant to break into pretty much any fantasy series because each series has tons of books. The Sword of Shannara can stand alone, meaning, I don't have to read the rest of the series to see how it ends, so I decided to try it. I went back and forth between really liking it and thinking it was just ok. There are parts where I was pretty sure Terry Brooks took some pages out of Lord of the Rings and just changed the names. So there was definitely some LOTR copying going on, but I think he did a decent job at making it his own.
