I don\’t know if it\’s shannara fatigue or something personal that happened in Mr. The Skaar Princess has no development as a character but is yet another overpowered character inspite of the fact that she\’s had no build up. Clizia Porse is a dislikeable character, but so little was put up into her, it just stays at dislike. The villains are either so cold and flat you don\’t engage with them or such a cut out with no development that you really can\’t get a feel for them. Even the appearance and cameos of some long lost or dead characters as shades doesn\’t have the impact you think it would, because the story is so listless. The newest book suffers from that same listless, depressing view that the books have taken in the last ten years. The High Druids blade series was kind of a depressing, listless morally ambiguous affair where you really ddn\’t see the energy in the heroes to root for them or hate the villains. A series once about good and evil became more about moral ambiguity and the characters almost listless cutouts of them former selves. The second prequel series was no nearly as good. The prequel trilogy series about how Shannara came to be after the apocalyptic wars was astonishingly good back in the 2008. And the subsequent series after that were dreary affairs where the bright edge the Shannara used to posses was more and more replaced with darkness. Grianne was utterly despicable as a villain, but meh as a protagonist. But the series continued to slip from there.
The series started to lose some of its luster during the Antrax series, but still was enjoyable.
You empathized and rooted for the heroes, and hated and despised the villains.
Brooks truly cared about building them up. Even though non one had an origin story form the baby state, you could see the development and build up of all the major characters and see Mr. I mean, the development put into Walker Boh and characters like Shea were awesome. The first 2 trilogies contained characters lovingly crafted and built up over time.
