Personally I liked Terry Brooks, mostly. Shannara- Sure, Sword was a bit of a LOTR clone, but it was his first book. They got better. Up to the end of the Heritage of Shannara I really enjoyed. I read the High Druid/Jerle Shanarra ...meh. I think he derailed a bit - I didn't think either of these trilogies were very good. Word/Void was very good, and the newer Armageddon's Children prequel was alright.

Ditto on this. The prequel, first three, second four books were all right. From there...the characters weren't likable, nor the endings. Particularly, the computer geek/bibliophile in me cringes at how all the old world knowledge embedded in servers got nuked by magic at the end of the Voyage series.
