First Impressions of MTV Shannara Chronicles

Plot:

1. Does not really follow the book in any way except using the same names.
2. Gives a spin on some backstory that readers are left guessing at...
3. Show jumps around a lot, with some weird CGI moments

Show in General:

• The characters are cast very well, just as they are in the book!
• The setting of New Zealand pushes the fantastical elements over the top.
• Costumes, are epic! I want to be Alanon for Halloween just so I can find clothing to match his character...

Book:

• The Elfstones of Shannara is where I am at now/ started
• I am enjoying it a lot! The world is vast and the races are fascinating...
• I am really bummed that the books each follow different characters...
• I should be finishing this within the week!
• Book is good or better and the show is okay or mediocre 

More Updates to come tomorrow when I see episode 2-3 and read more of the book.
