The Gypsy Morph (2008)

Loved this trilogy, but had to keep going, wanted to know more An enjoyable end to this trilogy. I'm curious to see how the world Brooks has created develops.

Bearers of the Black Staff by Terry Brooks is the first book in the Legends of Shannara series set in the Shannara universe. The book takes place about 500 years after the events which took place in the Genesis of Shannara series. The valley where the assorted followers of Hawk settled has been...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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 ...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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...

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...

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 ...

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...

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...

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' ...

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...

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...

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 ...

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...
