Review of 'The Wishsong of Shannara (The Original Shannara Trilogy, #3)' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

Maybe not as bad as the two first volumes. Still a lot predictable. Very cliché.
Well, I guess I'm not a big fan of Shannara's writing. I will probably wait some time before I start another book from the series.

My biggest grip is about the siblings. Jair strictly does nothing during the whole book. He basically get bounced by events and pushed around by the others characters. Until the final confrontation. And all goes well for him.
Brin does not take many initiatives during the story neither, but every time she slips toward evilness.
Now that's a great moral!
