Yeah, Shannara isn't high quality to begin with. Can't compare Grossman as I have to start the book back up. Really enjoyed the entire story at Brakebills, but it started to slow down when they left and got a flat together. Got into other stuff. Will definitely go back, but will probably wait until after the season. If nothing else, I've been pretty pleased with the special effects so far. Some of it has been pretty cool.
Yeah, if it had been somebody other than Blackthorne, Dresden would have sucked. He was great.
