I REALLY disliked this book. Not to give anything away, but the main female character TURNS INTO A TREE at the end and the main male character (who apparently is in love with her) can only go and look at her and sigh. DUMB DUMB DUMB. I think there should be a rule against main characters turning into trees.The Elfstones of Shannara was overall a good entertaining read but it was very formulaic in places. I've seen some say that it is nothing but a Lord of the Rings fan fiction and to be quite honest they might not be wrong but I would still say that it's worth a read. The battle scenes were so well written that they were my favorites parts of the book. Some of the other scenes came off feeling cold and clinical like a character was going through the motions without actually getting involved and
This book suffers from sequelitis30 December 2013 I have noticed that a lot of people have rated this book higher than the first simply on the basis that unlike the first book it is not a carbon copy of Lord of the Rings. This I will admit is true, it is not a carbon copy, but as far as I am concerned, it is still Lord of the Rings, and moreso, it suffers from what I call sequelitis. First, consider that the book has as its main character a young man (Wil, who is related to Flick, the hero of
I notice that everyone's favorite lists are riddled with the literary classics like Great Expectations or modern smartness like Middlesex. I bet far more people prefer to sit down with some Dean Koonz or a bodice ripper. So I'm going to stand up and say: I like fantasy. I read it. And I think it's good!
Literally sobbing... That ending killed me.Love this series, my review to come on YT.
I don't think you can possibly understand what a formative impact this book had on me.Picture it: I was nine years old. We were at this massive used book sale, and I was bored silly of all the books at the children's table. I wandered around a bit, and ended up in adult SF/F. And there, like a shining beacon of fascinating glory, was a gorgeous hardcover copy of The Elfstones of Shannara.Of course I bought it, even though my parents thought I wouldn't understand it. And they were right. I didn't
I loved this book. I was a bit disappointed at the beginning when I realized that I wouldn't be reading about Shea, Flick, and Balinor, but I quickly became used to Wil and Amberle, and frankly, I found them to be much more believable and relatable characters. Shea and Flick were a bit annoying at times, and the other characters were too close to LoTR characters for me to really get close to them. This book could stand on its own, and it was a good story.I enjoyed the character development of
