Someone recently told me that the Shannara series is post-apocalypse and this has caused me to reread them after all these years.

Mr. Brooks paints a better series than J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter. His characters have much more depth. The book is action-packed. His imagery flows like water and carries you through the scenes.

The maturity level of the characters, their level of diction, and the way they carry themselves is very mature and admirable. Subsequently, with the action packed, this is a book for adults as well as adolescents.

There was never a dull moment and I found it difficult to put every book in this series down.

Brooks has a way of weaving language together that makes a scene beautiful. He shows instead of tells, which is a skill that separates him as a distinguished writer.

The Shannara Books are a great read. Each book is better than the one before. I highly recommend it.

Of Course, being in the Shannara series, it was a great book
