Review of 'The Scions of Shannara (Heritage of Shannara)' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

The second series of the a Four Lands strikes a very different mood. Now the threat is far more human and the tone is darker. Will magic return to the Four Lands or not? While I prefer the original trilogy in terms of world-building, this series has a better feel.
