A review by ferrisscottr
The Elf Queen of Shannara by Terry Brooks
3.0
My first re-read of this book since 1992. Third book (of four) in the Heritage of Shannara series.
99% of the book is focused on Wren and the task given her by the Shade of Allanon to find the Elves and bring them back to the four lands.
Probably 3.5 stars but I'm rounding down because I never really felt like "I got" Wren - it was described to me, her history, growing up, parents, heritage, etc. but I never felt any of it, it felt like I was reading a history paper when learning of her background.
It was action packed, a page turner, tons of fights and battles and magic and monsters.
And who doesn't love spinterscat?!
A perfectly fine addition to the series but nothing great and not as good as the first two books in the series. It has been over 25 years since I've read this book so I honestly forgot every detail of the book so it was nice to revisit this book and this series.
One more to go.
