I remember the year as I got it as a 10th birthday gift from a geeky friend that I lent my first copy of the Hobbit and have yet to see again. In any event, I loved it. At the time I was struggling through LotR and this was so much easier. What do you want? I was ten! As each book came out over the next few years I read it. By then I'd been through a few more literature classes and had read a few hundred more books. Suddenly the artistry of the LotR seemed to be so much more while Shannara left me feeling a bit empty.
I don't remember where I left off in the series, but it was after the initial trilogy and something with druids.
The Magic Kingdom for Sale series I liked. It was not a huge worldbuilding fantasy immersion like the Shannara series and thus not held to the same standards. Light and easy to read. Think old Dragonlance books but funny.

Everybody was Kung Fu fighting!

They were written thirty years ago, when different standards prevailed. Oh, and for younger readers.

As others have mentioned, they were okay for their time period. Word and Void is a decent series. *NM*
