Terry Brooks and Shanarra are the best and I just hope he keeps going. His loving take on human nature is special and is really life reaffirming. Cheers Terry.

I love all the books in the Shanara series. I have purchased quite a lot of them from the First king of Shanara to the Sorcerer Daughter as well as those relating to the Void. I will keep reading Terry Brooks.

Fantasy master, Terry Brooks, has officially homed back on his prodigious throne of the ambitious Shannara series. Indisputably the classic that has earned him a highly accomplished status, "The Sword of Shannara" determined the glorious fate of Terry Brooks.  Although, I'm not the biggest fan of his non-Shanarra books (with the only exception of The Phantom Menace) when I heard that his flagship franchise was released, I galvanized to my nearest bookstore and eagerly anticipated the paperback to be yet another luxuriant read.  Looking forward for a mega collection of in depth sceneries, I was utterly blown to despair when Brooks failed to do so.  As if targeted for a younger audience, The Voyage of Jerle Shannara has been written in the less description, more imagination approach.  A bit infuriated, my hands sought to hurl the book across the room, but once the attachment with the characters became evident I finished the book to the very end.
Set during the current period in the Four Lands, Walker Boh has awakened from his life-expanding Druid sleep.  Deciphering a mysterious scroll sent by an emissary of the late Allardon Elessedil, Walker unravels a potent magic that may hopefully stabilize the quarreling Four Lands.  The celestial magic has been sited far in an elusive ocean where a continent known as the Blue Divide awaits.  Lacking the man power and the resources, Walker sways Elf King Allardon to supply him with a small band of Eleven Home Guard and funds.  Soon the Druid recruits the nomadic Rovers as the most excellent crew for an airship.  Quentin Leah and a scrawny yet vital character, Bek Rowe, also join forces.  Together, the crew journeys on airship through three perilous islands for the keys to ultimately unlock the magic found in the Blue Divine.  A mystifying sorceress wielding the magic of the WishSong utilizes a network of spies to trail behind Walker's expedition.  Intent on false vengeance, the Isle Witch realizes the confrontation with the Druid will be grueling, but her bitter resolve overcomes all fear.
Exceptionally executed, the superb characterizations render the book to be more than just another face in the crowd.  The diversity and relationships between the characters, like the Isle Witch and Bek, are beyond comparison with other fantasy books.  Readers who ventured onto prior Shannara books can expect the cushy fantasy, swords and sorcery, and multiple fictitious creatures.  However, gone are the powerfully alluring descriptions of consummate settings Brooks has been recognized for.  In regard to the Shanarra series, expectations for the series and future ones are extraordinarily high and with the lost of great, slow paintings of surroundings, Brooks in my book has faltered.  Hard.

First off, I am a huge Terry Brooks fan and an avid reader of many genre both Fiction and Non-Fiction.
This book, one of three in the series, is the glue that binds the Old World to the World of Shannara. Brooks has captured the essence of of the struggle for survival in a magical and post-apocalyptic world. The book flows as well as his first book, "The Sword of Shannara" and continues to surprise me just as he has done since 1977.
High highly recommend this book and the series.
If you are new to the World of Shannara or Terry Brooks then I would recommend also purchasing his other books as well.
As for the cost of the book for Kindle, I was actually surprised at the low cost. Keep in mind that not all of his books are the same cost.
I had zero issues on the download and there has been no glitches or missing data.
This is a great book in Hardcover, Paperback and Digital. I guarantee you will be satisfied should you choose to buy this book.

I bought this as a gift for my husband.  I have no idea how it reads, but Terry Brooks is one of his favorite authors.  He'd been eyeing this series in the store but they never had the full trilogy.

Terry Brooks continues to amaze me! Iv'e read all of his books at least twice! :) When I read his books its like I'm a bystander in the background watching the lives of his characters play out before me! About 20 years ago I was visiting family and was bored I was checking out the books on the selves and came across The Sword of Shannara, I have been hooked ever since then, my only complaint is he can't write them as quickly as I read them!

I loved his program back in the 50' and 60', its nice to be able to see them again. hicthcock is a master story teller and there is always a suprise ending. Its nice to see some of the famose acters when they were young and just starting out.

I've been a fan of Mike Barfield and The Hollisters since 1995 and I showed up at every show with skeptics who turned into rabid fans. The first question out of everyone's mouth was always, "Why isn't this guy famous?". I'm still wondering that today. Mike has a great voice and is a supreme showman. Not only are the songs chock full of infectious hooks but they are burned on your brain after one listen. I feel like this is my little secret and I'm being selfish not telling the world how great a musician Barfield is and how much fun it is to watch him perform. This album is funky and fantastic and I was pleasantly surprised the first time I gave it a listen. His other bands are traditional country, retro country and americana but different than what you expect. Different in a good way. If you greet him after a show he is gracious and unassuming and thanks you for coming to his show.

I recommend buying all the Hollisters CD's and if you want to see him live Mike is in a band called The Stone River Boys. I'm not much of a fan of the other guy that sings but I LOVE all the songs performed by Mike. Check out Mike Barfield, The Hollisters, The Stone River Boys all on Facebook, MySpace and all have their own websites. Please ask him to make more CD's and make more songs available on here and iTunes in mp3 format.

Mike, put some more CD's on here for sale!! Every time I buy some I wind up giving them away to your new fans.

This Trilogy was definitely one of my favorites of the Shannara series.  Just when you think Brooks could not possibly be more inventive, he pulls it off here.

I love Terry Brooks books.  Many have a similar themes, but I fall in love with the characters and am always rooting for them to succeed.  These stories show how we can dig deep in our own weak character and overcome adversity.  Love it.

I love Terry Brooks & his writing a new installment to the Landoer series urged me to pick up the complete series to be brepared for the new book.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, "I like everything Terry Brooks writes." Some stories are more involved than others; some characters are more relatable than others. But all of his stories keep my attention. His attention to detail and description, his ability to formulate the perfect metaphor, and his writing style will keep me reading his books for a long time.

This story, in Landover, is completely different than the Shannara novels, and yet I can still find Terry in the stories. If you haven't read the Landover series, I highly suggest it.
