Ilustration Conducive To Books Bearers of the Black Staff (Legends of Shannara #1)
This was an interesting and entertaining story from the Shannara world history. This one tells us of events that occur a few centuries after the time frame of The Gypsy Morph. It gets us closer to the period of Brooks's classic work, The Sword of Shannra, but we're not there yet. This book does end with a lot unresolved, so I'll need to push on to The Measure of the Magic to get those answers.But that said, this one is enjoyable. There are a few characters that stand out as particularly interesting (Prue, Inch, and Mistral), while others are likeable but fairly typical Brooks heroes. The story is solid, and though predictable in places for Brooks veterans, there are a few surprises here and there.
I wouldn't recommend this to a newcomer to the Shannara books (too much would be missed that happened before), but it is a good way to spend a few hours for a fan of Terry Brooks and his series.

I want the next book! Really enjoyed the first in this two book series. Terry Brooks books just keep getting better.Terry Brooks and Shannara have been around since the 1970s. I remember stumbling across Brooks after reading all of Tolkien's works and wondering if there was anyone else out there who could write and create a world like Tolkien. I didn't realize at the time, how tall an order that was. I read a lot of imitators and wannabes and was about to give up, but thanks to Brooks and a few others I was pleasantly surprised that there was some fantasy literature out there worth reading.Over time though, I
A great step forward from industrialised post-apocalyptic remnants of civilisation of ours to medieval-like more-shannara type of living, a giant leap of 500 years into the future since the Armageddon's Children and Elves of Cintra have found their safe haven, this bridges the gap between W&V and OShT even further... Long have the escapees flourished in their magically fog-entombed valley, going there through the separation and animosities anew as soon as the sheltered lands were found safe.
This started out boring and disappointing, but Brooks pulled through in the end and reminded me why I have enjoyed many of his books in the past. While Brooks is not a master in the fantasy genre, I rate on enjoyment and I did really enjoy this by the end. If you are a human who is sick of really complicated fantasy books, but still wants something with good world building, writing and characters then Terry Brooks might just be the author for you! I am excited to read the second installment, and
There isn't a wasted word. I didn't stop reading. I have been reading chronologically and have been waiting to find out what happens... And of course, I have more to discover. NEXT BOOK PLEASE!
Bearers of the Black Staff is the first book in Terry Brooks' Legends of Shannara series, published by Del Rey in August 2010.

While this book can be read and enjoyed without any prior knowledge of Word/Void and Shannara, this is the 22nd novel to explore this universe and as such, avid
