Do You like book The Gypsy Morph (Genesis Of Shannara, #3) (2000)?
The Genesis of Shannara trilogy is one of my favorite trilogies of all time. It is set in a post-apocalyptic world where everything is going wrong, but its still maintains a very positive, hopeful atmosphere despite the difficulties and dangers the characters face. Unlike many authors and series nowadays, Terry Brooks and his Shannara books center around good people trying to do what's right in a world where evil is a very real and present danger. But they always end up winning in the end. This might seem childish to the modern reader, but I find it refreshing. The world doesn't have to be a dark, horrible place where evil always gets the upper hand. In the end, good and love will always triumph. That is something I believe in, though not necessarily in those certain terms. Jesus conquered death, and as a result we have life.One of the few issues I have with this series is the fact that each book feels incomplete when separated from the whole. Good authors can take each book in a trilogy and make it its own story. But that's not necessarily something Brooks did wrong in the series, it just means that each book should be read as part of one overarching story.All in all, this is one of my favorite series' ever. The characters are amazingly well done, and each of their stories in masterly crafted. The emotion always runs high, and by the end I was tearing up like nobody's business. From the family that is the Ghosts, and the way they always look out for each other. To the heartbreak of a boy named Logan Tom, who watches his mentor point a gun at him. And finally, to each of the children's stories--Fixit and his sacrifice, and his and Chalk's friendship, Bear and his silent vigil over the ones he loves, and Owl, a young woman in a wheelchair, who is the mother to a family. Panther and Cat, two kids who didn't want to be locked away, who set out north with a dog that would protect them with it's life, and a cat that hopped like a rabbit.A man named Wills slowly going insane miles beneath the earth, a man who caused the death of the old world, and the birth of the new.A story of a boy, and his children, destined to find the Promised Land.

Despite not having read anything from Terry Brooks since I read the Voyage of the Jerle Shannara trilogy in high school I have been a huge fan of his. I love the post-apocalyptic genre and enjoy fantasy and this trilogy gave me both of these and in an excellent way.The characters in these books are well developed and easy to care about. Each one has a background story that doesn't take up too much space but makes me feel like I know them. Despite the fact that I knew how successful this journey would be Terry Brooks still managed to keep me glued to the pages. In this case it wasn't about where they were going, but how they got there that mattered.

A bit drawn out and repetition at times, but completes a good series.
