The plot, after a very slow start, was pretty good. The writing was awful.

| Notes: | Craig Todd’s selection. Living in peaceful Shady Vale, Shea Ohmsford knew little of the troubles that plagued the rest of the world. Then, the giant Allanon revealed that the Warlock Lord (thought to be dead) was plotting to destroy the world. The sole weapon against this Power of Darkness was the Sword of Shannara, which could only be used by a true heir of Shannara. And Shea was the last of the bloodline, upon whom all hope rested. The Wishsong of Shannara. Since completing the trilogy, Terry Brooks has written several other books on Shannara and other topics. |
