A Very Terry Brooks Novel With Some Letdowns

3 stars

I've read most of Terry Brooks' novels, and the Shannara books are one of my favourite fantasy series. His worldbuilding and characters are big draws. This novel feels like it could be slotted into the Shannara timeline, and it has all the familiar elements that make his writing so rewarding. I think there are some missteps here, including some poor handling of sexual abuse and reproductive abuse.
