His magic is still very intuitive and not under firm control which puts him in plenty of unexpected and dangerous situat. Therin said Shannara Series #1. I will say the same thing about each of the four "original" Shannara Series I read. They are entertaining. They are the first fantasy series where elf, gnome, dwarf, man and other fantastical creatures are together in the story, along with the Druid, of course.
