I've read Ilse Witch. I've read the entire Shannara epic to dat and highly rated Terry Brooks as a writer until recently. After plowing through the Scions of Shannara series and now moving on to Ilse Witch I'm finding it a bit repetitive. In every book you've got a highlander of the Leah family who is a carbon copy of every other highlander of the Leah family, Walker may as well be Allonon and the Ohmsfords are always the typical country bumpkin's caught up in something beyond their understanding. That said, I did read it all the way through and I will read the rest of the series when it comes out but I can't help feeling that I could just as well have read any of the other Shannara books a second time and not even realised it.
