abigcoffeedragon 's review for:

The Wishsong of Shannara by Terry Brooks
3.0

Short version, this is the same as the previous two stories - it is a MacGuffin quest, with a group of companions, and some characters die along the way. nothign stands out as great, and a few things annoyed me.

#1 - using the phrase "Mist and Shadow" a few times, not only shows the rip off of Tolkien, but using it multiple times shows lacks of creativity.

#2 - Stamps his sandaled foot - a character did this multiple times, in the exact same descriptive way. it is annoying the repetitiveness in this book.

Also, and this may be a SPOILER if you have not read, but don't worry, cause not really - the druid dies - only to come back at the end to give his world famous "The quest is over now let me monologue about what I new but could not tell you for many pages, so that everything makes sense to you now, though it is over, so who cares" speech.

I am only continuing at this point because I have a few more of the audio books, which are well read, but the work is mediocre at best.
