In Review: The Shannara Chronicles (season 2) - Miss Known
Last year, I started writing a post reviewing The Shannara Chronicles, although I came to the realization that I didn’t have anything positive or exciting that was worth doing a review of.

Amberle with help of Wil (Austin Butler), a Shannara (half Human and half Elf) and Eretria (Ivana Baquero), a Rover, have the mission to save the Great Tree in order to stop the demons and protect the Four Lands. The first season is basically a quest. These three different characters are obligated to work together to find the key to save the Ellcrys. Although, they don’t like or trust each other.
