The Druid of Shannara

1992Terry Brooks

3.4/5

I really struggled with this one, and it took me a month to get through. This novel had serious pacing issues. The beginning and the end were both pretty good, but the middle dragged, and I found myself heavily skim reading just to get through it.I do have issues with the Shanara books in general. They are all pretty samey, and the original novel especially feels like a rip off of LOTR. The previous novel was actually pretty enjoyable and built up a fun cast of characters, and I had been looking forward to continuing the story. Sadly this one chose to focus on only a few of those characters and the questing just got tedious for me.I’ll take a short break the will press on to the Elf Queen. Despite my issues with this novel, I do want to see this series out.
