One of my favorite books, I recently re-enjoyed this book, this time listening to the Audible version narrated by Scott Brick. Yes, this particular book reflects many of the themes from Lord of the Rings - Terry Brooks acknowledged this when this book was published. However, this epic tale led to many others that have nothing to do with LOTR.

Valeman Shae Ohmsford discovers that he is the last of a great Elven house and the only one who will be able to wield the Sword of Shannara against the evil wraith Brona, the Warlock Lord.

Unlike LOTR, this is a post-apocolyptic world.
