Hey...You reviewed both Elfstones of Shannara and Wishsong in a total of six sentences??? Aww. I remember finding cool rocks as a child and pretending they were the elfstones, capable of blasting blue fire. Of course, that may be part of your problem with the plot. The early Shannara books probably are better read in junior high or high school at the latest, before critical analysis skills are gained.

But you didn't even mention Garet Jax, the Weapons Master! Such a great supporting character. One of my favorites.
