Thanks to NetGalley for this ARC!
As a longtime Shannara fan, I was excited to learn about Galaphile and the founding of the Druids. The world-building connects nicely to the larger Shannara universe, and seeing the origins of familiar elements like Paranor was satisfying.
However, the book tries covering too much lore without enough depth, and the story feels surprisingly low-stakes considering how pivotal this character is to the entire series. Interesting read for Brooks fans, but it needed more character development and narrative focus to truly shine.
