Actually 3.5 stars but Goodreads doesn't do half stars.
It's a 3 star story with mediocre writing but if you've read Brooks before or are in any way invested in the Shannara history it's probably 4 stars because it fills in some of the gaps specifically how Allanon found the heirs of Shannara.
Recommended only if you are invested in the story and have read the other books

I got this to see if I thought I would like the Shannara series. I loved it. I have a few of the books already. I will definitely be reading more of it soon.

Ties the first king of shannara and the sword of shannara together nicely. I enjoyed it a lot. Hooray words.

If it had been a prologue to the next book, it would have been an unnecessary but okay addition. As a separate short story it is absolutely useless. Money not well spent.
