Daniel Kaine’s Reviews > The Sword of Shannara Trilogy > Status Update

So far, it's a lot like Lord of the Rings. Two ordinary men have to run from their village to escape black ghost-like creatures, they get help from a mysterious old guy who knows lots of things, and a warrior. Then there's the council to save the world with dwarves and elves, and a fellowship is formed. Still a good book, just hard not to notice the blatant similarities.
