Review: Another Adventure
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 10 25, 2013
I fell in love with the world of Shannara after reading the "Sword of Shannara" in 1985. Then I fell in love with the books of Terry Brooks. I followed the first Shannara trilogy with the Landover series, and the Word and Void series. I have followed the journey of the Ohmsfords since the very beginning and like many was struck with the question "What did Shea and Flick Ohmsford, and other characters like Panamon Creel do when their adventures were over?"  This short story attempts to answer this question by giving us the tale of the last adventure of the Ohmsford brothers.There were many things that I enjoyed about this book. First, Brooks stays true to the characters. The Shea and Flick Ohmsford the reader meets in these books are the same characters that we first meet in "Sword of Shannara". Second,  I also found the fact that Brooks paints a story with depth, and plot in the course of a short story. Finally, I enjoyed that Brooks seems to care as much about this characters today as he did 30 years ago.That being said this story does have some shortcomings. For example, some of the settings are not authentic to the original series. Another issue is that the writing in some spots seems stilted almost as if Brooks is getting bored with the subject matter. This of course is not entirely unexpected as he is a prolific writer but sometimes it made reading the book much less enjoyable.Overall I give this book 4 stars and would recommend it to fans of Terry Brooks
