OH, WHAT A TANGLED WEB...
Everything should have been quiet and pleasant for Ben Holiday, the former Chicago lawyer who became sovereign of the Magic Kingdom of Landover. But it wasn't.
Horris Kew, conjurer, confidence-man, and trickster, had returned to Landover from Ben's own world. Alas, Horris had not returned of his own volition--he had been sent by the Gorse, a sorcerer of great evil, whom Horris had unwittingly freed from the magic Tangle Box, where it had long ago been imprisoned by the fairy folk. Now it had returned to enslave those who had once dared condemn it. But first, it would rid Landover of all who could stand in its way...
Soon Ben found himself imprisoned within the gloom of the Tangle Box, lost in its mists and its labyrinthine ways. The only one who could free Ben from the Tangle Box was the lady Willow. But she had disappeared, was gone from Landover on a mysterious mission of her own....

I am the bigggest Brooks fan. I am revisiting the Landover series and just finished The Tangle Box. I loved that this book brought in some new surprises. I don't want to spoil anything but I was surprisingly shocked by Bigger's Karmic departure at the end of the book, as well as the relationship between Ben and Nightshade and of course the birth of Ben and Willow's daughter. This book has surely set a new landscape for Witches Brew, (which I am reading now) allowing for an expansion of the storyline. I think the Landover series would be a huge success as a motion picture series. Hope it happens:)

Seems that every character in the magical kingdom of Landover has some sort of magical skills, but not the control to get the most out of the magic. Enter one dark magic user that wants to control everything and watch what happens. Surprises come both in and out of the Tangle Box.

As a fan of Shannara by Terry Brooks I was unsure about the magic land of Landover but all the books have been fantastic opening up a whole new world to enjoy. Not as bloody and grim as the Shannara books it still very well written and immerses you in a fantasy land. Excellent read.
