My father introduced me to this
book. He read the Shannara series when he was in his teens. One day when I was
looking over my dad’s old books I found the series, so I showed it to my dad
and he had me start reading them. I loved The Sword of Shannara. I
thought it was an amazing book and if you like long fantasy, you have to read
it.
