A review by matt_hanson
The Sword of Shannara Trilogy by Terry Brooks
5.0
I highly recommend this series, as well as his other works. I found myself talking to the protagonists in stressful climatic moments and immersed in the Four Lands of this fantasy world. And, as a sign to me of a great read with great characters, I continue to think about the Four Lands.
I have read over ten books by Terry Brooks. In his many books, Terry has created a compelling fantasy world that is both an origin story that dates back to the time of Faerie and Elves that is filled with magic; to the contemporary world of today that is destroyed by a Great War; to the Four Lands in a world born anew over several thousand years. The Four Lands is populated by four types of humans: Elves; Dwarfs; Gnomes; and Man. The Sword of Shannara Trilogy is set in the Four Lands; the Druid Allanon, who is a powerful wielded of magic, and the Ohmsford family with magical qualities inherited from an Elven heritage, are all that stand between the Four Lands and emerging dark magical forces. Terry is gifted writer of prose. I find myself turning the words over in my mind as I re-read passages. Thank you Terry!
