I've only read the first three books in the Shannara series, so my knowledge about it is very limited. I found Sword of Shannara (SoS)to be the worst of the three that I read. I did read LotR before SoS and some of the similarites were very glaring for me. Seeing as I didn't like LotR, reading another book similar to it wasn't really didn't help matters.

While Elfstones and Wishsong were better, overall I thought them to be average. But, the cover art by Steve Stone are amazing.
