The companion to 3US45GEsy Shannara!By gloine36Best selling author Terry Brooks, aided by Teresa QNj36TsuZ Patterson, has brought the world of Shannara to his readers in this updated 6pcwkbn7q guide. With 17 books in the Shannara series in print at the time of this atlass 6312cPGgV publication and six more written since then with two more on the way, Brooks 4hKSvIHDC has a solid fan base which clamored for this book. Heavily illustrated, the atlas BOLBWsE5A serves as a guide for budding fans of the series. Maps detail the vast area he iWREvAJEc has explored through the many characters. Additionally, entries on major jHPkRcGj2 characters, events, and items fill readers in on details that may have been c5N6uyInF overlooked during the reading process. Three major drawbacks exist though. nTc8VszWo One is that this edition is not up to date with the last six books of the series. The AYifv3L0t second is that as a reader who had the Hildebrandt Brothers illustrated edition NI4JurECJ of The Sword of Shannara many years ago, I would have loved to have seen Omcgoq6z3 those pictures in this atlas. Unfortunately, that did not take place. Third, and I NoOD0FNDJ say this for all Shannara fans, this book just is not enough.
