A jump back in time threw me off as I thought this picked up right were book one left off - but it starts about 40 years or so down the line. The same issues of the pace jumping between slow and drawn out and really fast and exciting that I found in book one as well. I really enjoyed the character o...
Start of a trilogy set in Brooks' Shannara series. There's nothing surprising in the mix of characters he assembles, and it starts off fairly slowly.Persevere, and the pace picks up nicely. It ends on a cliff hanger which some people may not like as you're disappointed if you're not going to continu...
This was a fun book, but it seemed to pull a lot of elements that I had read in other books. We have the unlikely hero and his sidekick setting off on a quest given to them by a strange figure that seems mythical and extremely powerful.

I have this habit of creating an arbitrary to-read list and sticking to it no matter what. So, even though I have just read Legends I and realized that I might have enjoyed it more if I had read the fantasy series before that, I had to read this one now, even though I STILL haven't read the series t...
