Read the book
I dont know what's wrong with all you people who didnt like this book. Why dont you just read it and stop comparing it to other books. If you read a book like Lord of the Rings or the Hobbit, and then later read the Sword of Shannara, of course you're going to see similarities. As another reader mentioned, wizards and evil bad guys arent just in Tolkiens books. There are heros in the Bible (i.e., ...

The Elfstones of Shannara (The Sword of Shannara)

Everything you're looking for...
Elfstones is where I feel you can really start to sink your teeth into Brooks. Sword of Shannara was an experiment and homage to Tolkien, so the story often lacks, especially in originality. Not so with Elfstones. This story starts with Wil Ohmsford, the grandson of Shea, who is studying to be a Healer. In what will turn out to be a running theme, Allanon shows up unannounced and whisks Wil ...

Great ending to the shannara series.
I started reading Shannara books in November (First King), and I vowed not to stop until the library had run out of books. Well with Straken my journey has been completed. And i have to say it was an enjoyable one. Straken was easy to read and fast paced, Brooks' writing had really evolved since the Sword. The book has a great ending, there was nothing I wanted to see more than what happened. If ...

Excellent price for a Trilogy
This book combines all three books in the Sword of Shannara Trilogy. I bought it for my son for the Kindle, and it was priced remarkable for what you get. If you love fantasy, you should love this.

Terry does it again
The Dark Wraith of Shannara adds to Terry Brook's many acomplishments. I like the difference this book adds to his original novels. ...and who didn't want to know if Garret Jax would ever make it back into another story!

Great Series
I loved this series. I hated to finish as I really enjoyed the read. I went to Seattle last summer and enjoyed the references to that area. I'm a believer.

First King of Shannara (Shannara Trilogy, Prequel)

Answered a lot of my questions
First King helped to answer a lot of the questions I had about the Sword of Shannara trilogy, such as the history of the creation of the actual sword and how Jerle failed at defeating the dark forces. It also brought into play the black elfstone, giving us a little more information about this mysterious stone. The book was relatively short for Brooks, considering it was a one book stand alone ...

Great Story
I am one of those readers who doesn't like, or dislike, any specific genre. My only goal is to find a great story that I can get lost in, and boy did this do it for me! I love all the characters, as they are so well developed. You watch them all have ups and downs, go through good and bad, and react according to their nature (which may not be what you expect). Great read!

A thrilling conclusion to the Shannara trilogy
This audio version of the third book in the series features the fine voice of Charles Keating bringing to life Mr. Brooks' characters. Brin Ohmsford and her brother Jair and their quest to destroy an evil book, the Ildatch. With fine characters and a strong story, this is a great conclusion to a fantastic series, began with the Sword Of Shannara and continuing with the Elfstones Of Shannara.

Epic... Exhilerating on the edge of your seat suspense
What can i Say... i don't own the trilogy so much as i do own the three themselves. As with all of Terry's stories, they start off slow... and with a lot of questions. As all three stories progress, one into the other, you'll find yourself becoming more immersed, in the form of not waiting for the next bit. for me, i picked up the second and third book right after i had finished and set down ...

Terry Brooks

Del Rey, 1993

Entertaining Book
This book deals mostly with Wren and Garth and their struggles to follow Allanon's commands and move the Elves back to the four lands. At first I didn't think I would like this book as much as I did because they were the most uninteresting characters in the first two books. However, I thought this book was very enjoyable. This book is mostly non stop action/peril sequences and will not go ...

Best of Heritage
By far the best book in the Heritage Series, Brooks paints a completely new story with none of the recurring threads of his others (except perhaps the ending, *ahem*). Although this book is a part of a series, it is written in such a way that it is not really necessary to read the others to enjoy this one. They add little to its plot anyway. (+) A great new adventure, the characters are ...

Fantastic!
If you are looking to relax and get away from it all, reading the adventures in Terry Brooks novels will certainly help. This book is no exception, I could hardly put this book down there is nearly non-stop action from beginning to end.

I bought this for my grandson. He has read all of the series, and really enjoyed them. He is 21 yrs old. He also has dyslexia, and has never liked to read. So this was special to both of us that, He said he got so into the book that he forgot where he was.

A wonderful series.
The Heritage of Shannara series collected into a single volume is a great peice for a collection as well as a shelf space saver. This series outshines the Sword of Shannara series, as it tells a single epic story in four separate books, allowing for greater character and plot development. This series follows the children of Shannara (Par, Coll, Wren, and Walker Boh) in their efforts to ...
