| Re: Opinions about the Shannara Series its been a while since I read Shannara, I also cut off when first king came out. couldn't get into the story.Sword came across as a pale attempt to hide the LoTR origins. the others did have a lot more originality to them (at least through talismans). thinking of formulaic fantasy, I can see it, epic quests, etc... and if one takes the story from Scions through talismans, it is again the same epic quest, just more characters, longer paths etc... |
