Gene reviewed The Druid of Shannara (Heritage of Shannara) by Terry Brooks (Heritage of Shannara (2))
A bit of a slow read but a solid book in the series
4 stars
This entry in the Heritage of Shannara series focuses on Walker Boh and Morgan Leah to a lesser extent. It takes us through a solid arc for the druid and is generally a good book with satisfying high points, a good sense of progress and adventure and a good preparation for the next book in the series.
Some of its faults are in having too many poorly fleshed characters or disposable characters with very limited use. Some parts can feel slow and bogged down in description or even repetition of events. For the enduring reader they will be rewarded with a good arc for Walker Boh and a good preparation for the rest of the series.
