Shannara, hm? I read four or five of the books, I think, but that was a long time ago. The first book felt very LotR inspired, though the world came into its own more after that.
I see that the actress who plays Amberle is in the clip above. She is from the second book, which is about the grandson of the first protagonist, so they must be planning to cover at least the first two. Personally, I thought the second book was far superior to the first book, though I will never read it again; it genuinely broke my heart to the point that it hid the book so that I wouldn't think about it. Actually, another book in the series broke my heart, as well. It's nothing like A Game of Thrones with all the deaths but that makes you care a lot more about the characters, so when one does die, it has more of an emotional impact.
