The Sword, Elfstones, and Wishsong of Shannara

I have finally re-read this trilogy after about a 15 year gap - it was my very first foray into the world of fantasy and is what ultimately hooked me for life. I was extremely trepidatious as I did not want my treasured memory of these books from all those years ago to be tarnished by my now adult (and perhaps more skewed?) viewpoint. However, I was not to be disappointed. I just devoured them and read all three in about three weeks. I am elated to report his writing and stories are still as tantalizing and gripping as they were when I read them as a much younger girl. All three of these are amazing, and I shall be reading the rest of the series with breaks in between. My original review of the trilogy on this blog can be found here, so I shall avoid going into that again....but these come highly recommended...even still!
