I have only read the sword of Shannara, but I thought that it was amazing! it was very similar to Lord of the Rings, yes, but it was different enough. One of my favourite characters in the book was Panamon Creel (though he had a small part, I still liked him). I also like Menion, and Flick.

I have read Voyage of the Jerle Shannara, Antrax, The Scions of Shannara, and am currently in the middle of the Druid of Shannara. I love them all and can't wait til' I get Morgawr. There was one bummer, in the Scions of Shannara, Mr. Brooks killed off my favorite character! Steff was cool!

Has anyone read the newest Shannarara Book? It's called Jarka Ruus, and it came out in August. It is the first in a three part series, and takes place 20 years after the Morgawr. It's really good, although for me it took awhile to get into it.

I've read quite a few of his books. He's a very good writer. I really enjoy his Shanara books.

Has anyone read the High Druid yet?
Just wondering if it's any good.

*spoilers*
I just read his newest, Jarka Ruus. There were some things I liked about it, but I wouldn't say it was that great. The plot was kind of interesting, sending Grainne into the Forbidding and Pen needs to go into it and save her, (I personally was hoping she had been sent to the past in the time of Faerie.) but the book was honestly kind of dull. Compared to his first books which were just awesome, his newer ones are kind of repetitive. I don't find it exciting and enrapturing. Elfstones is still my favorite.

I just finished reading Terry Brooks' newest trilogy. I enjoyed them, though I wish

Only book I've read by Brooks is The First King of Shannara, which I honestly thought was quite terrible. The plot was simple and filled with holes (IIRC), the characters were all bland and the writing plain.
