This was such a disappointment after reading the original books in the series many years ago.

This really did feel like a re-hash of the original books with a lot of repetitive filling to bulk the story out.

I did struggle to finish this.

This series of books has spanned many years if not decades and I must be honest I thought the series had already ended …….. imagine my delight to find that there are four more books to the conclusion of Shannara
Reading the previous books are essential to understand not just the world building but also the characters and their interactions .

The Stiehl Assassin brings you back into a world where magic has taken the place of technology and features dwarves and druids, sword and sorcery and a multitude of characters .
The worldbuilding is superb , the characters complex and the storyline flows as precisely as all the previous books ……….. drawing the reader into this world , investing you in the individual characters stories and the outcomes of each personal journey .

This fantasy has been superb all along and I await the "final" ? book with impatience ………… whilst I am waiting I will start the series all over again and immerse in this world once more .

I was given an ARC of this book by Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
