What can i say, if you have read the first book and liked it the the second is just as good. Not to give anything away, you will know who the Druid is quickly although its not confirmed untill the second half of the book. I read this in a week although I was on hoilday but I didn't want to put it down. I was forced to by the kids and the pool but could have read cover to cover.
I do like all for the various Shannara books and if you have started with this set I suggest you stop and start at the beginning of the previous set of books as events from these are refered to quite often. It doen't spoil your enjoyment at all, but will improve it without a doubt.
