A review by chasmofbooks
The Sword of Shannara Trilogy by Terry Brooks, Darrell K. Sweet
4.0
It was great! A little too much description in some parts but the battles where very well done and amazing.
A lot of people compare this to [b:The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings|30|The Hobbit & The Lord of the Rings|J.R.R. Tolkien|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1346072396s/30.jpg|89369] but I don't see much of a resemblance. Fantasys like Lord of the Rings and the Shannara series are all similar but that's because once one person has used the idea, it's no longer original. Some say that this is a rip-off of the Lord of the Rings plot but, if you ask me, that's a lie. Now, I'm not saying they can't feel that way or that my opinion is the right one, but I don't see very much resemblance between the two plots. The books (series) have similar elements but that's a lot different from having the same plot.
