I’ve started to read the second book of the trilogy, the Elfstones of Shannara. Brooks immerses the reader in overlapping stories of each character’s journey to defend their world against evil, keeping you intrigued chapter after chapter. As more characters are introduced, the story begins to unfold in unexpected ways. The story begins when Shea Ohmsford and his brother Flick are sent on a quest by the mysterious Druid Allanon to retrieve the Sword of Shannara and destroy the evil Warlock Lord. Although, I am not a fan of novels with excessive detail, I still enjoyed Brooks’ writing and the fantasy world he created. The Sword of Shannara definitely has its share of adventures and interesting characters. However, I decided to jump in with both feet. I was even more reluctant after the person who recommended it informed me that it was the first book of Brooks’ original trilogy and now part of a growing series. As someone who doesn’t read a lot of fantasy, I was a little reluctant to pick up this book.
