Book

The Gypsy Morph (Genesis of Shannara, #3) (2000)

A final culmination in this trilogy that sets up the events for the next books in the series. It was great to see all the components come together and satisfying to read a conclusion. The characters are the same as the previous books so there is not a lot of development just reminders of who they...

Book

L'esercito dei demoni (2008)

I haven't read all of the Shannara books--just the three gypsy morph books... I really love the characters.... they don't follow the standard description of good and evil, but are individually unique to make up this wonderful story.. The ending has me longing to know what Hawk finds when he awake...

Book

Bearers of the Black Staff (Legends of Shannara #1) (2010)

For people like me who are testing the waters of the Fantasy Ocean, this was a very good read. What i liked most about the book were the parallels it drew with the modern world-wherein the voice of reason is disregarded by the powers that be-as these might threaten the belief systems that help th...

Book

L'ultimo cavaliere (2010)

It started off slow, and I wondered if my fascination with Terry Brooks was finally beginning to wane. Halfway in I realized this wasn't the case, and by the end, I found my eyes racing across the pages to see how things were going to conclude.Terry has brought things full circle with his Shanna...

Book

The Measure of the Magic (2011)

I quickly read Bearers of the Black Staff and was happy to be back in the Shannara world. I have not read the Word and the Void series, or any storie preceding the timeline of The First King of Shannara. While I was able to begin to see hints of the world of Shannara to come, this story somehow...

Book

Bloodfire Quest (2013)

The second book in The Dark Legacy of Shannara series. This was a great follow-up to the first book. There was one twist I saw coming since book 1, but there were a couple of developments that caught me by surprise. Like most trilogies, this has a few ongoing threads. In one thread, you have Khyb...

Book

The Dark Legacy of Shannara (2000)

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this installment of the Shannara story. The links to characters from the original series makes some of the adventurers seem like meeting up with old friends. The plot is fairly transparent following a few different sets of familiar adventurers all connected original...

Book

Wards of Faerie (2012)

Book

Measure of the Magic, The: Legends of Shannara (2011)

This novel is the second book of a duology. The first book must be read before this novel. In this book, we continue the story of Pan, Prue and Phryne. This book is about young people having to grow up and accept responsibility.This novel was a decent read but there are better novels in this univ...

Book

Il potere della magia (2011)

I can't begin to comprehend why he ended the book as he did. I really liked the first half of the book and would have given it 4 or 5 stars. Brooks must have been in a really bad mood when he wrote the last half. I happened upon this book and, therefore, read it even though it's the last in a ser...

Book

The Bloodfire Quest (2013)

cant wait for book 3 Excellent read. Grab your coffee, sit back and begin your journey.

Book

I guardiani di Faerie (2013)

This book was awful. I have read dozens of Terry Brooks novels and this one was far away the worst of them all. His writing is obviously going down and it is a pity. This book had a snoozer of a plot, characters that were one dimensional and excessively annoying. There were ginormous holes in the...

Book

Magic Kingdom For Sale/Sold (1992)

I've read a lot of books but rarely write reviews. I only take time out of my day to write a review when I have strong feelings about a book. I have to love it or hate it, and after reading this book I definitely have strong feelings and opinions about it. A family member of mine kept telling me ...

Book

Armageddon's Children (2006)

I read the Shannara books as a young teen and loved them. It was such a letdown when I tried to read them years later and they didn't hold up. Pretty thin, really. But I got suckered in to reading multiple new ones set in that world afterwards. Since I knew the world, they were comfortable and fa...

Book

Straken (2006)

SUMMARY:The High Druid of Shannara trilogy draws to a thrilling close as a young hero nears completion of his trial by fire, a banished ruler fights for her life in a wilderness of dread, and forces of darkness and light square off in a battle unto death for the right to absolute rule. Prepare to...

Book

Running with the Demon (1999)

Running With the Demontt# of Pages: 434tttYear: 1997By: Terry BrooksRunning with the Demon is a good read for teens and adults who like supernatural activity and suspense. But be forewarned that this book has a ton of detail and can be quite boring until the second half. The main problem that thi...

Book

Tanequil (2005)

The second book of the High Druid of Shannara series is arguably better than the first - Brooks manages to bring up the quality of the book by cutting down references to the previous series, The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara, and giving some air time to the Elves - and ends in a cliff hanger that ...

Book

A Knight of the Word (1999)

This is the second book in The Word and The Void series by Terry Brooks. I found this book much easier to read than the previous book. I now think that another reason I found the first book of the trilogy harder to get through than the Shannara series was that Mr. Brooks had to set the scene an...

Book

Jarka Ruus (2005)

She pulled her cloak closer about her, aware suddenly of how cold she was. It was his presence, the nearness of his evil. Even in death, it was there, in the spray off the lake, in the currents of the air, in the darkness pressing down on her. Death, come alive in the form of his shade, gave powe...

Book

Morgawr (2003)

The Morgawr is the third book of the trilogy "The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara": 30 years ago a expedition of elves tried to follow the dream of a seer: To find the fabled "magic" of Parkasia a far away island never visit from anyone from Shannara before.

Book

First King of Shannara (1997)

After a while, author Terry Brooks decided to do what many fans had wanted him to do, and tell some of the back-story of the Shannara universe. A quick note here, that Shannara does not refer to the world these adventures take place in, but to one of several in-universe families, in this case a l...

Book

Witches' Brew (1996)

I'm not sure what to think of this book. This is the fifth book in the series and I loved the first one so much, I've wanted to read all of the others. And most have been decent -- but not as good as the first one.In this one, Ben Holiday and Willow's daughter, Mistaya, is growing at an astoundin...

Book

The Wishsong of Shannara (1999)

I wasn't a big fan of this third and final book in the Shannara trilogy. While it isn't necessary to read the first two books before this one as it can be read as a stand-alone, I would recommend reading them just for some background. Actually, I'd probably read the first two and skip this one ...

Book

The Druid of Shannara (1998)

The Druid of Shannara by Terry Brooks is the second book of the Heritage of Shannara series set in the Shannara universe. This book deals with four characters journey to deal with the threat posed to the world by Uhl Belk a stone spirit who wants to change the whole world to stone. The first of...

Book

Sometimes the Magic Works: Lessons from a Writing Life (2004)

Brooks, you spoke right to me. I have now read three really fantastic books on writing. Each one offers different things, different lessons. With each we must take what works for us. No one method works for all, no one lesson is a lesson for everyone and no one rule should be followed by everyone...

Book

The Black Unicorn (1999)

Let's start with this bit of advice for aspiring authors - if you're going to borrow several concepts without much change from someone else's story, don't namedrop that other book unless you're doing a parody of some sort.There's a couple reasons for that. First being it just looks sort of lazy o...

Book

The Sword of Shannara (1999)

TL;DR version:Question:Answer:Indeed I am, Mr. Brooks. 2.5 stars, might recommend for the funnies.Long and unapologetic version:I have a dirty secret to confess. I am no fan of Tolkien’s writing. If you were to check out my Goodreads profile now, you’d see that I’ve one-starred almost everything ...

Book

The Druids' Keep (2003)

This second book in Terry Brook's Sword of Shannara series is really enjoyable. The content of the story is great; however, I feel that the story telling is at times poor. The beginning of the book is really good, but once you get about 3/4ths of the way through the author begins to 'fill pages' ...

Book

In the Shadow of the Warlock Lord (2009)

The fate of a world rests on an unlikely hero. . . .Tucked away in peaceful Shady Vale, the young half-elf Shea Ohmsford gives little thought to the outside world.

"The opinions of others whether you agree with them or not are something you have to learn to tolerate"Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan, two Jedi knights (well, one is a Master, the other his Padawan, but who's counting?), are surreptitiously sent to Naboo to negotiate a treaty to put an end to the blockade t...

Book

The Talismans Of Shannara (1999)

I will admit I liked this book when I first read it, but I was young and foolish at the time. This book does NOT hold up on re-reading.The promising parts aren't major players, alas. Wren becomes an idiot and barely has any screen time. Walker is still basically cool (at least in the first hal...

Book

The Scions of Shannara (2006)

For The Sword of Shannara Trilogy, author Terry Brooks wrote three separate, but loosely-connected tales. In The Heritage of Shannara, he tells one large, epic tale over the space of four books. It was quite a departure from the pattern of the previous stories, and, if the first book is any indic...

Book

The Tangle Box (1995)

In The Tangle Box, Brooks accomplishes a feat I didn’t think would be possible, a Landover novel where Ben Holiday doesn’t hold center stage while still remaining absolutely vital to the plot. The first time I picked up the book, I read the first few pages and put it away. The initial character s...

Book

The Elves of Cintra (2007)

The Elves of Cintra is the second book in the Genesis of Shannara series by Terry Brooks. I've been a Brooks fan since I first read Sword of Shannara back in Junior High School. While I haven't absolutely loved all of his books, I've really enjoyed most of them. Over time, he's had two series ...

Book

Antrax (2002)

This second book in the Jerle Shannara trilogy is a darker tale than the first. It has the ambiance of a Science Fiction and Fantasy mix by introducing machines and computers like the first book but more so in this second novel. There were certainly surprising twists that leaves the reader dumbfo...

Book

Indomitable: The Epilogue to The Wishsong of Shannara

The skies were still dark with clouds and the earth was sodden and slick with surface water, but none of that mattered to him. Others might prefer the sun and blue skies and the feel of hard, dry earth beneath their feet, might revel in the brightness and the warmth. But life was created in the d...

Book

Wards of Faerie: The Dark Legacy of Shannara

She went down the empty, silent corridors to the Druid’s Keep and took a seat just outside Woostra’s offices in the Druid Library. She was waiting for him to appear at the start of his workday, intending to question him further about what that odd listing meant, when a shadow passed across her fa...

Book

The Elfstones of Shannara

The clouds which had masked the summer sky for nearly seven days began to break apart so that thin strips of blue glimmered brightly in the fading sunlight. In the west, the horizon turned scarlet and purple, the glow falling softly across the rain-drenched woodlands. From beneath the smudge of h...

Book

Allanon's Quest

Our conversations were of ourselves, but also of the strife between our peoples and the terrible toll it was taking on all our lives. He told me he did not see all of his people as bad or all of ours as good. It was not so simple in his eyes, and I was quick to agree with him. The war is ongoing,...

Word & Void 02 - A Knight of the Word (2013)

In a rain-streaked blur she watched it catapult into Boot and Audrey. The sylvan was back astride the owl, and the owl was lifting away into the night. Both disappeared in a shower of blood and feathers and bits of wood, there one second and gone the next. The dark shape went right through them, ...

Book

Tangle Box

They did not speak of what had happened, but each knew that the others were thinking of it. The endless forest closed about them again, a vast impenetrable canopy of leafy boughs and misty skies. The Labyrinth stretched on once more, and after a time it seemed as if the town and her people might ...

The Jedi Master he had trained under had considered him one of the best the Master had taught in his more than four hundred years in the order.

Book

The Sword of Shannara, Part 1: In the Shadow of the Warlock Lord

The heavy mist dissipated within the forest, and it was possible to look skyward to the magnificent canopy of interlocking boughs and leaves several hundred feet above them. Where there had been no sign of life in the deathly lowlands, within the giant oaks the mingled sounds of insect and animal...

Book

A Princess of Landover

She listened for it carefully, but the hours passed, and no one called out to her. The longer she waited, the more uncertain she became about what she had heard. Perhaps she had only imagined it after all. Perhaps the shadows and the overall creepiness of the Stacks had combined to make her think...

The Sword of Shannara, Part 2: The Druids' Keep

Why would the Northlanders kidnap a woman? Menion stared through the pouring rain into the clear blue eyes that blinked back at him uncertainly. She was no ordinary woman in any case. She was strikingly beautiful—deeply browned skin covering the finely formed features of the rounded face, a slim ...

Wizard at Large

He went alone, slipping from the castle before dawn of the first day, departing while the bothersome G'home Gnomes and all those annoyingly insistent ambassadors, couriers, and supplicants from one place or another still slept. Affairs of state would simply have to wait, he had decided, whether i...

Book

[Magic Kingdom of Landover 05] - Witches' Brew

The sun crested the horizon behind them in a hazy white ball, obscured by mist and clouds and the thickness of heat on the summer air. Already it was hot and threatening to grow hotter. Clouds rolled in from the west, beginning to build on one another, promising rain before the day was done. Ahea...

But then the young Druid told him he was to enter alone and left him there. Paxon watched the other’s back recede down the hallway, not quite believing he was being left alone for this meeting. But then he took a deep breath and knocked. “Come in, Paxon,” the Ard Rhys call...

The Sword of Shannara Trilogy

Bearers of the Black Staff: Legends of Shannara (2010)

THE AIR WAS BITTER cold and he could see his breath cloud the air in front of his face. He rose quickly, walked to the front windows and looked out. The ground was thick with frost, a white coating of icy powder that sparkled in the faint first light. He moved to a different position, where he co...

He lay on a sleeping mat in a darkened room. The ropes that had bound his hands and feet had been removed, and the cloths with which he had been gagged and blindfolded were gone.
