The Sword of Shannara Trilogy by Terry Brooks
5.0
I probably should not have put this in as all three books, but this is the version I was re-reading, so you get what you get. IMO The Sword, although cool as the first novel in this long series and world, doesn't hold up as much over time. I also don't recall it being a huge favorite the first time I read it. But it is still good, and first.
The second, however, is one of my favorite books of all time. 5 stars. No doubt. Why do I like it so much? The story is a unique departure, the characters and all of their sacrifices, the sadness in their triumph, it's all in there, and I like as much today as I did 35 some odd years ago.
I'll give the whole trilogy 5 stars, because I can't besmirch The Elfstones with anything less.
Technically, I haven't re-read Wishsong in ages, but I think I really liked a character in there. Jax perhaps? Its next.
