Explanation To Books The Druid of Shannara (Heritage of Shannara #2)
I really struggled with this one, and it took me a month to get through. This novel had serious pacing issues. The beginning and the end were both pretty good, but the middle dragged, and I found myself heavily skim reading just to get through it. I do have issues with the Shanara books in general. They are all pretty samey, and the original novel especially feels like a rip off of LOTR. The previous novel was actually pretty enjoyable and built up a fun cast of characters, and I had been looking forward to continuing the story. Sadly this one chose to focus on only a few of those characters and the questing just got tedious for me. I’ll take a short break the will press on to the Elf Queen. Despite my issues with this novel, I do want to see this series out.Specify Books In Pursuance Of The Druid of Shannara (Heritage of Shannara #2)

The Druid of Shannara focuses on Walker Boh this time. We didn't really get to know him very well in the first book in this series and I wasn't sure I wanted to read an entire novel that centered around him as the main character. Then when he lost his arm, I wasn't sure how this story was all going to turn it or if I was going to end up like Walked Boh any more than I did at the beginning of the tale. How can he be a druid with only one arm? But, in the end, I found that I did enjoy reading
Having read Part of of the Series I kind of had an idea of what to expect.Glad to say the book did not disappoint.Pretty good darn story takes over where Par and Coll leave in Scions of Shannarah and follows Morgan Leah and Walker Boh along their quest to restore Paranor to its former glory.I really enjoy adventuring in the world of the Four Lands and this book is no exception. In fact I feel Brooks gets better and better with each book.The only reason it's a 4 and not a 5 stars is that I feel
One of the best Shannara books for sure. A true adventure fantasy. I was already losing hope that Brooks has just degenerated into generic fantasy, but this book really stands out on it's own. A little bit of doubt, soul searching, interesting characters and the big picture coming together. Still "young adult" friendly, but not as naive.
