Armageddon’s Children (The Genesis of Shannara, Book 1)
I mostly enjoyed it. It had a so-so plot that wasn’t necessarily gripping, but adequate. While Armageddon’s Children is definitely not on par with Brooks’ classic Sword of Shannara — and Hawk certainly isn’t as interesting of a character as Shea Ohmsford — Hawk, Logan, and Angel are interesting enough characters that were just developed enough to make me want to find out what happens to them. Not a deeply engaging read, but entertaining. I will probably pick up book 2.

Perfect. Exactly what I thought, but thats what I have thought of all of his recent work. Its like he has been writting for so long that he doesn’t put a whole lot of thought into it anymore. He just keeps trying to re-invent the Shannara series in new ways. Still a nice, light, easy, and decent read. Good to get a break from the Jordans and Martins.
