DESCRIPTION:
From Shannara to Landover, his work was a huge part of my childhood.”—Patrick Rothfuss, New York Times bestselling author of The Name of the Wind “Terry Brooks is a master of the craft and a trailblazer who established fantasy as a viable genre. This novel shines best through a full-bodied embrace of its most wildly imaginative magic and artifice, which is careful not to overshadow the story’s greater half, fueled by a complex but well-constructed manifold of motives.

Brett, New York Times bestselling author of The Desert Spear “I can’t even begin to count how many of Terry Brooks’s books I’ve read (and reread) over the years. This novel shines best through a full-bodied embrace of its most wildly imaginative magic and artifice, which is careful not to overshadow the story’s greater half, fueled by a complex but well-constructed manifold of motives. Gentle traveling minstrel Reyn Frosch possesses the uncanny gift, and curse, of the wishso
If you like magic, fantasy Francisco Moya Huff I have purchased, read and subsequently gifted each and every one of the Terry Brooks books throughout the years since 1997 to my buddy Fernando. This because he was the one that showed me who this author was and what he had already written. Anyways this book keeps his tradition of producing fantasy, intrigue and a interesting story. His characters are outrageous and magical, nuanced, ordinary and extraordinary. The plot thickens, theres always a development continuing, thats why he usually makes the stories a three book trilogy. If you like magic, fantasy, incredible ch. Dave DeCoursey said I still enjoy them for an easy read.

I think Terry has created a complete world with its own rules which seem to be consistent.Like all of the prior series, this one contains a full story line with each novel able to stand on its own.

Kindle Customer said Better than Tolkien at this point.. Terry Brooks has far surpassed Tolkien in the title of Master of the Fantasy genre. Anything he writes will be an edge of your seat thrill ride. His characters are flawed, his heroes unique, and a writing style all his own. I always highly recommend anything that Terry Brooks has written.
He lives with his wife, Judine, in the Pacific Northwest. He is the author of more than thirty books, most of which have been New York Times bestsellers. Terry Brooks has thrilled readers for decades with his powers of imagination and storytelling.
